I wrote about a new word - pracademic. Here is a word I'd like to add to the English language - COFFICE.
It is a combination of Coffee and Office...It is also where I spend my afternoons, many of them anyway, working/writing/grading papers and such.
There is a Coffee house not far from my house - Orchard Valley Coffee. They offer Wifi and music that is too loud sometimes - I bring my ear plus or put on my headphones.
Not a few people come here regularly with their laptops to work. After all, I live in heart of Silicon Valley.
This is not a new phenomenon, but it is sure to become more popular.
As telecommuting becomes not only a reasonable but a preferred option, I expect to see more and more people in the COFFICE here.
$3-5 a day for a cup of coffee or a strawberry smoothie is 'cheap rent.'
There are also newspapers everywhere - blog material!
How about you? Is your job something you can do at a coffice?

Sometimes I too like to get away from my usual office and stop in somewhere where I can work and get some espresso. Its just better to change enviroments sometimes but I dont like to frequent them, theyre usually pretty crowded and well, I hate that.
