Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Buffista Business thread is for people who are or run their own businesses.
Where should I post (I'm assuming Natter will be the first answer, but is it the best) about being good at work. And I mean that across a wide range of works.
I might be needing another way to present a 2-page weekly status report for someone else to present to management. Or someone needs to know that trick for Outlook (you know, the way that makes it not suck?--I KEED I KEED). Talk about if certifications improve your resumes in give industries...that sort of stuff could be stultifyingly boring in Natter, out of place in Business, because it's explicitly called out as for business owners only.
I cheated--I really do want that perfect 2 page status report format, and I even have ideas to bring to the table! Status reports of any sort--I'm looking for templates, and can share examples. Never mind--how do you make Project your bitch...and should you have to? Do you apply the Zero Inbox thing to your professional mail? How's that working out for you? GTD in general? Productivity tools?
Some of us drones need help to, even though do report up to someone/thing.

I really don't see why it can't go in Business. It's not a hugely active thread; I don't see the business owners getting swamped out of the convo by other work talk going in there.

As a business owner and denizen of the business thread, I would welcome questions like ita !'s.
We can all learn from such.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Indeedy. It's as useful for Taking Care Of Business as it is for owning one.

Okay, Ima take it over there. Let's see if we can't consense this mother.

Is it too soon to consider the next Natter? It seems to fly through hundreds of posts pretty quickly to me.

I like it. And am amazed we haven't used it before.

IJS the last couple days I keep being reminded of this fact.
