working in starbucks

have you ever work in starbucks? quite often? how does it feel?

so, just this afternoon i work in starbucks, right after meeting wrapped around lunch time.
the project manager was not eager back to the office, so there we were, choosing one corner of the sofa in starbucks which located in the same building as our client.

since the sofa is equipped with electric socket, no worries of running of battery while working. and starbucks provide a free wifi too,

since the first time opening the laptop, i felt off.
the crowd talking and laughing, the sound system playing music. it's just noisy enough to distract your mind away from your task.

and in Starbucks you need to purchase one of the beverages. which is not cheap.

and the wifi was intermittently disconnected.

one of the positive point is, since we all in one team; it's easy to discussed the work, and understand each other.

if you are a regular toilet visitor, it is kind worried to left your devices laying around without supervision.
