Some people WFH<\/a>, and 99% of days I WFWork, but this morning I’m WFCoffeehouse.\u00a0 It’s the perfect day to do so… my office doesn’t have a very good view of the outside world, and it’s too beautiful of a day to not enjoy the sunshine, even if it has to be\u00a0through a window pane.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(Incidentally<\/span>, if you <\/em>urban dictionary WFW<\/em><\/a> you get some interesting definitions that were news to me.)<\/em><\/p>\n

I don’t mind my office,\u00a0mostly because I don’t spend that much time in it even when I am at work.\u00a0 I’m a PM, which basically means I live off my laptop and\u00a0WFM\u00a0(work from meetings) most of the time anyway.\u00a0 I’m lucky in that I’ve got a window-by-proxy in that my office “window” (which looks into a hallway) looks directly through another office’s hallway window, and then out that real<\/em> window.\u00a0 So, on most days I can actually see sunlight from my seat.<\/p>\n

WFC this morning got me thinking of the endless hours of time I spent at coffeehouses in Champaign-Urbana, and how I really miss that community.\u00a0 It was more than just recognizing the regulars, because you find that pretty much anywhere if you go there enough.\u00a0 But\u00a0somehow I ended up meeting people at Kopi, Aroma, Green Street (now renamed to something I never remember), Paradiso, etc. that became great friends.\u00a0 I could always count on running into someone that I knew when I would WFC, which I why I think I did it so much.\u00a0 I miss those people, and I miss those places because of them.<\/p>\n

Living in Capitol Hill, I think there might be a potential to establish that, which is one of the biggest attractions to living in this neighborhood.\u00a0 It’s the reason I’m not likely to move away from it anytime soon.\u00a0\u00a0And if I do, it would be to a place like\u00a0Fremont or Ballard which\u00a0have a similar feel.<\/p>\n

I guess I just never realized how important\u00a0that virtual neighborhood in\u00a0CU was to me.\u00a0\u00a0My city is great, and I love my neighborhood… it just hasn’t become a community to me quite yet.<\/p>\n
