  • Did I Mention I’m Afraid of Planes?

    By Lucy Days in England: 0 My day started with an email informing me I could check-in to the flight on the app. I did so, because it also meant I would sign up with Aeroplan and get free wifi on the plane. I watched the last season of Sons of Anarchy in an attempt…

  • Mid-Week Check In

    By Lucy Dawn of the Final Day, twelve hours remain. Got the car checked out today, nothing wrong with it. No idea where the puddle of oil that appeared under it on the driveway came from. Possibly just undercoating dripping off, or maybe the homeowner has a leak and it’s from him. I feel a…

  • Murphy’s Law

    By Lucy Morning of the third day, three days remaining Murphy’s First Law; anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Went to my buddy’s place the other day to sort where I’d be parking the car and drop off some stuff for him. His place has some absolutely awful speedbumps around it and the…

  • Dreaming Of The Open Road

    By Lucy I’ve been watching Sons of Anarchy. It was accidental; Rich mentioned he liked the show and we should watch it together, so I threw on the first episode to see if I’d like it. Needless to say, I was hooked, although hating that I am hooked. It’s not super about motorcycles or MCs,…

  • Mid-Week Check-In

    By Lucy Selling to people on Facebook is always a joy. I cleaned the microwave and posted it for sale. I don’t know how new it is cuz I’m pretty sure I got it second-hand, but it was 1100 watts and quite large, clean and worked well. Got someone who was interested in it, and…

  • bad idea, right?

    By Lucy 14 Days Remaining Done work. The final week was boring and I checked out for most of it, eschewing the ‘cool kids’ table I had cultivated in favour of sitting by myself again. When we were done working in second sort, I wandered off to a mostly empty part of the building to…

  • Alarm Bells

    By Lucy I’m glad I had last week’s post already lined up, because the realization that it was now January and go-time is fast approaching sent me into a tail-spin. Far from relaxing with my three days off, I packed while panicking. I sold my vanity, fortunately quickly and painlessly. With that, I have four…

  • Vagabondry, or: How I Learned to Love Homelessness

    By Lucy It was the Ides of April when my life changed. I still don’t know why someone posted the travel card job in the Sister’s in the Brotherhood chat. They never post job calls there. I’d heard of travel cards before, but they were for other people, better people, more competent people. Starting May…

  • Happy Holidays!

    By Lucy I read somewhere that there’s 14 different holidays celebrated around the end of December. What did you do? I slept, for ten hours. One of the homeowner’s friends called me and invited me to dinner, but I declined and told her I had plans. I didn’t, unless you count sleeping, but even if…

  • Night Moves

    By Lucy Monday was a circus. Most of the regulars booked the day off or left shortly after we got there. We were left completely alone in second sort for the second half of our shift, and I ended up taking over. It also didn’t help that they had a temporary forklift driver who didn’t…
