There are companies that will rent you a desk/pod from
which to work. They’ll provide network connection, power,
a desk, and facilities.
Lots of large corporations are reducing their costs by
reducing the buildings/floors they rent as office space, by
increasing “hot-desking” - in their rented
buildings.
My job largely comprises: emails; meetings; tel-conf’s;
writing/updating reports
I propose an outdoor space which provides all the facilities
you need for your job: connectivity, power, shelter from
weather, loos and coffee.
So. I sit in a beautiful green space, surrounded by
birdsong, working away. Emails, connectivity, coffee from
a passing cycle-espresso-vendor.
The idea: a park or outdoor space providing all the
facilities required to do a day’s “office work”, but without
the office. Connectivity, power, shelter from the weather,
loos, coffee.
And more time outside: physically and mentally better

Connectivity: mobile internet device |

shelter from the weather: umbrella |
|

loos: empty bottle, or dedicated device |

If it's a //park or outdoor space//, how does it provide shelter
from the weather? |
|
| |
Tensile fabric canopies to keep the rain off mostly, carefully placed planting <shrubbery> to shelter from the wind. Timber-built shelter-pods... |

Count ? You've always said you're a viscount up to now. Have you been upgraded ? |
|
| |
Besides, we're sure your brother always calls you a "c... maybe we misheard ... |
|

Ideal for combining the necessary evil of "work" with the joyous entertainment of Poisoning Pigeons In The Park ... <link> |
|
| |
If the "shelter" were a camouflaged hide, it would allow the occupant(s) to indulge in a little vermin removal; squirrels, rats, politicians ... |
|
| |
//Have you been upgraded ?// I saved all the box-tops and
sent them in with the money. |
|
| |
... or more accurately, "I instructed the servants to save the box tops and then had them send them in with some money that I stole or obtained fraudulently from someone else". |
|
| |
Using your own money is rather less likely than you stabbing your own eyes out with a blunt pencil. |

<Thinking outside outside> We just have to make sure the meal, we call Earth, is ruined and not able to be harvested. </Thinking outside outside>
But I don't think reverting blue cheese back to it's original constituents is possible somehow. |

There's bound to be a politician somewhere who will promise you that, if you'll only vote for them ... |

It certainly was not fraud! [MaxwellBuchanan]'s recent delivery of orphan tongues was well-packaged, arrived on time, and was precisely as described in the ad. DNA test pending. |

Another satisfied customer. Sometimes, I wake up and look in
the mirror and think "How lucky it is that I'm around." |
