Facebook and Coffee

Posted by: Jim Howlett.

I had to take PUB’s New Media team for coffee so we could get access to their SIWW Facebook page

    What does ‘third spacing it’ mean Jimbo?

      Not sure, one of those cool things I heard Connie say… my definition is as follows:

      First space – working in the office
      Second space – working from home
      Third space – working from neither home nor your office, it’s a third space like a cafe

      Is third spacing effective? Harry Potter was written from a coffee shop so I guess it is

        Thanks – I realize now that I spend large amounts of my working time in ‘third space’. What do you call all that work I do in economy class in airplanes in Asia? Cramped space?

    Jim it is great to see this happening. So much has changed in how we interact with PUB over the past few years. All for the better. Thsi sort of interaction is invaluable.

      Thanks for the reply Gerry and your encouraging comments. As to your question about “what do you call all that work I do in economy class in airplanes in Asia? Cramped Space?” I think you call it “watching movies”…

We see these as other channels that employees can use to illustrate how Black & Veatch is Building a World of Difference.
