We’ve been told to go home and work from there until the end of time. I hate it though, I find it demotivating so my productivity and focus have dropped considerably. Are there offices you can rent somewhere in Arlington or thereabouts? |
There are some cool offices you can rent in old town from ALX partners if that’s not too far? |
We-work has nice facilities. $30 a day I think. |
+ free cult |
I'm curious about this: So it isn't the coworkers you miss, but the office furniture? The institutional bathrooms? |
NP here - I miss getting dressed and leaving my own home, stopping for coffee on the way, and then being in a office with other grownups who've also gotten dressed and left their homes. Yeah I do miss my coworkers too but I can't do anything about that. I can do something about the being home 24-7 problem - also looking for an office like OP. |
OP here. I miss having a professional environment and corporate-level facilities, e.g. desks, chairs, printers, shredders etc. I don’t care about the people, I’m only friends with the cleaning people. Plus I hate the conference calls. Do we really have to listen to people’s stupid dogs yapping away, or gurgling toddlers? I don’t see how this is a viable way to work. I don’t miss the toilets. |
That’s way cheaper then I expected. I’ll have to look into that. Thanks. |

Also check Expansive and Regus. I use the coworking option at Expansive and it’s $200/mo. |
Why not convert a space or room into a home office |
You know you can get dressed, get coffee and leave your house (oh, and have actual friends) every day without going into the office, right? You sound like a middle manager. |
Regis is another company that does this. They’ve been around way longer than WeWork. https://www.regus.com/en-us
Google for “coworking space near me” and others will pop up. There’s a bunch near Tysons if that would work for you. |
^ dang autocorrect. It’s Regus. |
Is that supposed to be some sort of insult? Good lord, only on dcum ![]() I’ve been WAH for over 10 years. I’d love an office to go to, but it’s not realistic right now. I totally get why someone wants to. |
