WATER COOLER LUNCH ROOM CHAT
It's time to clock in! Whether you're on the East Coast and are counting down til lunch, just starting your day on the West Coast, or are in Europe pouring an Aperol Spritz on your balcony (what I imagine life in Europe to be), join me at the water cooler.
Get settled into your day or check in with how much you've already done, reply to that slack you've been putting off all morning, write your to-dos, and settle in with your virtual co-workers. Cameras and mics on are encouraged — join when you can, stay as long as you'd like.
Quick note: If you're looking for a quiet co-working space, this is not the place for that. You are more than welcome to work quietly amongst the chatter and dip in and out of the conversation as you see fit (or ignore us the whole time — that's cool too, and part of the office experience), but there will be conversation happening throughout the hour.
Your work is remote. Maybe you work for yourself, maybe your co-workers are across the globe.
You love remote work. But you miss the office antics: pretending to check emails while catching up with coworkers, grabbing coffee, keeping track of what time Peter actually gets to the office, submerging the new guy's stapler in jello, standing by the proverbial water cooler (an aside: I've never had a water cooler at my office jobs — have you?)
Come join a casual video call where we hang out virtually, have some lunch (east coast folks) or breakfast (west coast folks), drink our coffees (or tea, or Red Bull if you must), and get settled in/take a break from the day.
Multitask, check your calendar, plan your to-dos, pretend to check your email, or just shoot the sh*t. It's like co-working, without the pressure to get any work done.
It doesn't solve for the stapler-in-jello (and similar) pranks or ganging up on Peter for being late, but maybe with how fast AI is moving, we can get there in a few years.
Hope to see you there <3
