Cohere Coworking (in Fort Collins)

Kevin Buecher mentioned coworking to me on12.16.09. I went home, researched it, found a wiki, a blog, a google group and a worldwide community of coworking spaces, owners, catalysts and coworkers.

I am starting a coworking space in Fort Collins, CO. Follow along.

  • Coworking fits the Drug Addiction Criteria

    Coworking Tuesday has become a drug to me.  I love coworking on Tuesdays so much that I think about it constantly, feel elated when I know it’s coming and crash and burn the day after out of depression and desperation.  I found a list of drug addiction signs and I think coworking fits the bill.

    • Increase or decrease in appetite; changes in eating habits, unexplained weight loss or gain. (yes, we have all gained weight b/c of Kilwin’s and then lost it doing group lunges on the way back to the office)
    • Extreme hyperactivity; excessive talkativeness. (yes, yes and yes especially when @imnickarmstrong is in the house)
    • Change in overall attitude / personality with no other identifiable cause (yep again, we all experience extreme happiness before, during and after coworking).
    • Changes in friends: new hang-outs, avoidance of old crowd, new friends are drug users.(nothing could be truer..we’re in new places, meeting new friends and we are all on coworking) 
    • Change in activities; loss of interest in things that were important before.(yes, I have lost interest in a 9-5 job, crappy bosses and tedious meetings and structure for structure’s sake) 
    • Skips or is late to work. (we don’t care if you’re late or miss a day but it has happened) 
    • Defensiveness, temper tantrums, resentful behavior (this happens the day after coworking).
    • Unexplained silliness or giddiness. (I’m not even going to comment)
    • Change in personal grooming habits (yes, we usually get dressed to come to coworking whereas we normally work seminude or in pjs at home).
    • Possession of drug paraphernalia. (yes, we’re all packing laptops, travel mugs and smart phones…guilty as charged).
