So here's the deal

Candice, Vin and I are professionals and full time parents who live in the general area of Loyola Heights.

We all have what is properly termed as "portfolio careers."

She is a corporate communications consultant and writer, he is a lawyer and some sort of music demi-god and I am in the performing arts as well as into corporate training and facilitation.

We all used to work from our homes. And anyone who has ever tried that would probably know the problems that come with that setup: no regular working hours, children who need your constant attention, new shows coming in through the torrents. We all knew that there had to be a better way of doing things.

And so we decided to set up Unit 4.

Unit 4, as it it presently set up, is my living room.

The airconditioner runs from 1pm to 6pm from Mondays to Fridays, there is free flowing coffee, we sit around a long table banging out work on our laptops and we engage in copious amounts of gossip.

And we get things done.

Much better and more efficiently than if we were just working from our "home offices."

We have wonderful plans of eventually sharing the services of an accountant and a messenger.

In the meantime, we're just happy being a lot more productive and a lot more sociable than we used to be.

We would like two or three more people to join us at Unit 4.

You can come over and co work with us for a day or two or join us for a more long term arrangement. Since it's a community working arrangement, we just generously share what we have to keep the vibrance and viability of the community intact without getting too much into the nitty gritty of bill splitting and bean counting.
