I finally gave up on that downtown Austin co-working space after burning $800

Signed up for a 6 month deal at that new spot on 5th street, thinking it would be great for client meetings. The internet dropped at least twice a week, and the 'community manager' was never around to fix it. Lost a potential client call because of it last month. Anyone know a reliable spot south of the river that doesn't have these issues?

Feel your pain, man. I once spent a whole week working from a spot where the only reliable connection was my phone's hotspot. My big plan to look professional ended with me huddled in a corner by a window, holding my laptop up like I was trying to get a signal. That's a special kind of defeat.

Sounds like a rough week but is that really a defeat... it's just a bad internet spot. People act like every work problem is some huge life battle. You got your work done right? That's the win. The rest is just a funny story to tell later.

Kelly638 has a point. My own low point was trying to join a video call from a parking lot. The audio cut out and my boss just saw me silently mouthing words like a confused goldfish. Still got the notes sent though.
