M: How do you like your new flexible working arrangement? Do you enjoy working from home?
W: Yes and no. I find an isolation challenging at times. Apart from my mother, not too many people I know have time for phone chats during working hours. I tried the library, but found I wasn’t really keen on working there.
M: No, neither would I. I find the library a bit too quiet. I’d lack inspiration or stimulation, which would be counterproductive to getting a lot of work done.
W: I find the same thing. So, lately I’ve been going out to cafés occasionally. I love the noise, the people, the busyness of the café, the sense of being out in the world.
M: Coffee shops seem to have affectively become office spaces for so many people in this digital age, though I’m not sure how café owners feel about it- having so many people who go to their places to work rather than drink and eat.
W: Yes, some people seem to spend a lot of time there and not order much. The most annoying ones for café owners must surely be those usually only two of them who occupy a table for six with their laptops and paperwork.
M: They should sit at a table for two, not the table for six. Some obviously stay so long. They need to plug the laptops into a power outlet. I nearly tripped over someone’s computer electrical lead the other day in my local café.
W: It’s a double-edged sword. No doubt about that for a café owner. While remote workers help to keep the café full in quiet times, they can take up the valuable table space in busy periods.
