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.

x-rays

this morning while coming to client's building entrance, where we should go through an x-rays scanner, i found out the machine is not operating. so the security check everybody bags manually using that small-black-thing-that-can-bleep if detecting a metal. it just couple of months after this building is occupied. and the system already down. but after lunch. i spotted the machine is working again. other thing that not working anymore is one of the urinoir, an one booth of toilet box. and it just one month. did the contractor buy a cheap one? .. huh!

restaurant

we have this performance review but held in informal way discussed while having lunch. so we go to nearest restaurant, and we arrive sometimes around 11.15. alas, the sign at the door still shows "closed"  what.. ?.. , so when it was confirmed to the staff who happened to be at the front door, it is confirmed already open. since there is another sign that saying the restaurant open schedule is 11.00 AM. when we enter the restaurant, the staff still mopping the floor. since all tables are still empty, we pick the corner one. we order the food, as listed on the menu. a few moment later, the waitress return to our table, and says the main course we ordered still not available. whaatt.. .. ?.. it's their main course, the favourite one, and it's not ready.
