I have a desktop but I use my work laptop alot. I use it because it allows me to leave my office, see moonlight, eat food, and do work all at the same time. I used to spend alot of time searching for free wi-fi access. That was a lost cause. So I signed up for T-Mobile hotspot wi-fi access. Now my cell bill will be nearly $200.00 each month, with all the other features I have.
Now that I have 24 hr. access to wi-fi and caffine, I ashamed to say that Starbucks (an institution with thousands of hot spot locations) has become my temple. It's my place of refuge.
I'm joking but there is an element of truth to what I'm saying. I enter Starbucks for time, space, and comfort to do my work. But now, I'm spending too much time and getting too comfortable at Starbucks.
Now, I have to make sure I'm not spending too much time here because I'll spend too much money here. I usually get a drink that is a simply mix of flavor, milk, and ice. I always order it with more flavor and less ice. I always get iced sweet milk. Oh, and I pay nearly $5 for it.
Since I like 24hr Starbucks'? Starbucksesses? Starbeeks? Since i like the ones that are open 24 hrs, I usually wind up in one that is frequented by people who have no shower to call there own. There is nothing like the smell of cinnamon, coffee beans, and stale, dank, BO.
There's one guy i see pretty regularly. He holds office hours here. He's like 6'4", probably 250 and he drives a Jazzy. He also walks around after he parks his Jazzy. I suspect he charges his Jazzy too. He brings food with him. He strews his books and papers to stake his corner. He sits, stand, and paces for hours. It's like he's waiting for somebody(ies) but no one ever shows up. I'm no doctor, but I think he might be lonely.
I often wonder why he drives the Jazzy since he looks like he can walk without problem. Maybe he's waiting on a settlement check or something and has to play the part.
Anyway, I also hate having to play chess in an effort to secure a table near an outlet that's not near the bathroom (which is literally a BATH-room for those people who don't have showers to call their own). I have to think several moves ahead. I have to sacrifice a place in line to be near a person whom I think MIGHT be leaving soon who is also in a good location. Tonight I got lucky. It's finals/summer school time so many students are congregating in Starbucks. A young lady was leaving as I was surveying the board and the pieces. I went for the easy win: solitary table, comfortable chair, away from the BATH-room, but no plug.) It's been good.
My caffine is wearing off so I'm logging off.
