Apparently chairs are optional when coding … and/or one day we can afford chairs.

Dear all of us millions of people who are packing, moving, and putting stuff in storage:

Live doesn’t have to suck. You don’t have to break your back moving heavy boxes. You don’t have to bother your friends and bribe them with pizza and beer to help you move…  Let’s face.  They don’t want to.

But there’s a better way — Workables.com…  More importantly, wouldn’t you like your storage unit to look as organized as this one (sent to us by yet another ecstatic Workables customer)?!?

Cheers,

Mr. Sprocket

Learn more about the team and how we’re thinking about the market and the massive opportunity for Workables to change the world and improve lives.

Our first experience with Big Door came through Feld Gelt, where Workables’ Co-Founder and CEO — Jonathan Hegranes — was one of the lucky winners to land 30 minutes with Brad Feld.

During that 30 minutes, gamification was a big topic of discussion, and we’ve been thinking about complicated ways to bring that experience to our site… Then last week were up in Boulder for Glue Con, and had the opportunity to meet up with Roy and some of the Big Door Team. After that, we decided to start easy, and in less than 5 minutes (nothing more than a short code snippet) the Big Door widget was live on Workables.com.

Shortly thereafter, we received a traffic alert from Chartbeat as concurrent users on the site were going crazy… Coincidence? We think not. :)

Gotta love some good ol’ fashioned white boarding… :)

Sprocket and Team Workables are excited to officially launch our #FindWork Twitter campaign…  Simply tweet #FindWork and your zip code and you’ll be automatically notified of jobs in your area.  Suh-weet!

Winding down a long day at Workables HQ… what would your move be?

It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to! That’s right Workables peeps, today is Cinco de Mayo and it also happens to be my… Sprocket’s birthday. Who am I you ask? Well I might be the most important guy you know. The person that can help you find a gig, employment, livelihood, vocation, moolah, call it what you want…. a J.O.B. a job, you may have heard of it…. work? What’s that you say? How can I help you? Well first you should start out with tweeting this….

“#findwork in XXXXX” Replace XXXXX with your zip code (e.g. “#findwork in 90404”)

After signing up I’ll send you a DM on twitter letting you know when there’s a new job in your area! To manage your Workables twitter settings go to the Account Settings page.

Happy birthday me! Have a safe and happy Cinco de Mayo and most importantly tell your friends about Workables.com!

Peace,

Sprocket from Workables

Workables is looking for people across LA (Culver City, Santa Monica, etc, etc) who might be interested - from time to time - to deliver coffee and make a little extra cash…  

If this sounds good, the next steps are super easy…

a) Tweet “#findwork in ZipCode” (wherever you may be)

b) You’re done… We’ll notify you when jobs are available!  Though you can always check out Workables.com for more jobs, more details, a funny video, etc.
