On Tuesday we meet with our friends from the Seattle Collaborative Space Alliance, a bunch of Coworking space owners, founders, managers and members at WeWorks, a new, super fancy Coworking space in South Lake Union.

This month was a social meetup (alternating with business meetings) and we went on a tour led by WeWork's Gina, synced notes, welcomed some newbies, chitchatted and enjoyed a nice Vietnamese buffet and the WeWorks keg. Thank you, WeWorks!

We spent most of our meetup catching up with each others work projects, learning what the others work on, who joined the Office Junction.

Here are some of our shared skills: Mentoring programs, financial planning, coaching training, general editing, proof reading, sales, job searching, soul searching, graphic design, pricing, community organizer, caregiver, dog sitter, micro manager, website editing, web development.

We further shared some of our favorite tech helpers and apps:
Mapquest, SDOT Traffic cams, ferry app, waze, LinkedIn, Evernote's newest handwritten notes feature, positive discipline app, gmail, google calendar, safari, foursquare, GPS, and many more.

We also talked about 'Lotus Notes' and 'Word Perfect' and how we developed from then to now.
