Yeah, we had an empty office from March 2020 until it closed in 2023 - we never went back. I'd go in once a week to use the 600/600 internet service, connect to the home network when the VPN wouldn't suffice, and to babysit servers. We'd have people come in when they had guests in town and needed space to work, needed to have a long work call, or just needed to have a kid-free work environment. It worked out pretty well, but gets back to my idea of a hoteling office, where you have a fraction of the seats, just enough to seat everyone you'd expect to come in at the same time. --- MultiMail/Win v0.52 * Origin: realitycheckBBS.org -- information is power.
