Work environment (like coffee shops)

[VinnyVideo]

@Mariotroid I guess I'm a little more self-conscious when I'm in public. Even if I'm not "on duty", I have to make my friends, classmates, co-workers, the people I help teach, and total strangers think I'm busy doing Super-Important Useful Things instead of looking at corny Twitter memes! (Excel, Notepad, and Game Maker look significantly more Super-Important than most social networking sites).

@Kritter I agree! When I want to get work done, sometimes I'll park myself in the corner and work away for an hour or two. This strategy can be very effective. I used to make the mistake of choosing a corner next to the vending machines, so that area could attract a lot of people and distractions. I know better now.

@Vitiman I usually don't pay much attention to what other people are doing on their computers. However, if I see someone emulating GBA Fire Emblem games, I'm definitely going to come over and see what they're doing - and compliment their exquisite taste in video games.

Course clear! You got a card.
