PSA: My 'office' used to be a dedicated room, now it's wherever I can find a stable surface and a power outlet.
This morning I was on a Zoom call from a laundromat in Medellin, Colombia, because my Airbnb's wifi went down. Anyone else have a go-to 'emergency office' spot in a pinch?

A laundromat in Medellin is a new high bar. My emergency office is usually just my car, which smells faintly of old fries.

Is it really an emergency office or just a place you had to check email?

Old fries smell" sounds more like a confession than an emergency. I've worked enough overnights to know people love calling things emergencies when they really just mean inconvenient. Checking an email? That's a Tuesday afternoon problem, not an emergency office situation. Unless your car is literally on fire and you're using it to shelter from a hurricane, I don't see how a smelly car qualifies as a serious workspace.
