Where to work near Blue?

Recommended Posts

I had an interesting conversation with my boss today. He basically said he doesn't care if I work out of the lodge at Blue Mountain, so long as I get my work done. I'm thinking that I can use this to try to sneak in two nights a week (or at least start my 1 night a week sooner then 6pm).

 

I need a solid wireless connection, power and a quite place to work, but not so quite where I can't talk on the phone. I'm on a lot of conference calls through out the day.

 

Suggestions?

the Summit Lodge supposedly has wireless. during the week it shouldn't be horribly difficult to find a quiet corner somewhere.

 

I guess I should bring my laptop up there and test it this weekend. My only concern about the lodge is if I'm on a con-call with my bosses and some screaming kid starts making a racket. I pretty much need to be right in front of the laptop while on the phone.

there's some starbucks/ panera bread places around just off 22 if thats what your looking for - would be about 20-25 minutes fromt the mountain. also wegmans at 33/248 and 22/512 - i've taken my laptop there before just to get out of the house to get some work done. the 512 one has a mezzanine level thats pretty empty in afternoon and evenings :confused i'd find it tough to really get anything done in the lodge. hotel lobbies work too. i'd do the wegmans and a late lunch...

Wegmans on 512 is legit up stairs. It's right off of 22. They have a great beer selection (single, 6packs, and 12packs) if you want something to drink with lunch :)

 

I know exactly where it is, I didn't know they had an upstairs.

What about your car..seriously..for alot of travelling salespeople..the car doubles as an office..

 

That's always an option, say if we got a freak blizzard...but then I'd just call out small...cough cough. I have a Verizon Air Card, but it's just not that robust. I'm going to give Wegmans a try. Maybe there will be some quality milf scenery.

The hot spot that Blue Mountain has is a PenTeleData Unleashed hotpot. It is not free, it is only free if you have a PTD account. I know you have Comcast so it would actually cost you $....as far as nice quiet places that you can get work done, The Palmerton Library in Palmerton is a great place to get work done and its only a 4 mile drive from the Valley, I use it a lot for business work.

I'm here now. Not a whole lot of power outlets, but this will work out nicely. Thanks.
