Does Your Business Have a Squeaky Door?
…and when are you going to fix it?
I work at a coworking/shared workspace (no, not that one) and there are certain elements of a shared space I have needed to adapt to. For instance, as I was writing this piece, three of my shared workspace compadres were having a spirited discussion in the next open cubical on the virtues of bitcoin, blockchain, and how to displace Google as the arbitrator of the internet. Even though I was not participating in this discussion, I was a bit distracted and it was time to break out the noice-cancelling headphones.
There are shared restrooms here and immediately after I started working in the space, I noticed that the men’s bathroom door made a bit of a “squeak” at every opening (and closing). No big deal… initially.
Inevitably, because we live in a world where entropy reigns supreme, the squeak grew into a “squeeeeak” and became not only longer but quite noticeably louder as well. You can hear the sound of the actual door here: ENTROPY SQUEAK.
So, what happened to the squeaky door in our coworking space?
Nothing happened, because it was going unnoticed… by everyone but me.
The squeaking persisted and — depending on the population on any given day in the coworking space — presented itself to any…
