Special thanks to Uni for helping make our New Year's party a success ( Read more... )

I've been living at this place for 4 or 5 months now and up until this point my room was nothing more than a place to put my clothes and in which to crash. I rarely spent any time in here if I wasn't sleeping, which is a bit of a waste considering that I lucked out in getting one of the largest rooms in this place (master bedroom). Well in the ( Read more... )

I SHOULD have taken the work that my boss had for me today. Instead, I decided to try and make the Monday I had off into a two day weekend. Well, looks like it'll be the whole week now, though who knows. Things change very quickly with the company I work for ( Read more... )

Worked out on my new trial Fitness World membership today. Having a gym close to the truck yard and access to other locations all over the lower mainland rocks. I hope I manage to stick with it this time ( Read more... )

I just finished the fourth consecutive day off from work and... unfortunately, have to be in to the yard by 8am tomorrow. Apparently there's a chance I'll get Sunday off as well in order to attend a friend's house warming party. That's still up in the air though ( Read more... )

Vancouver took some getting used to after spending all of my life in Toronto.  Sure it's beautiful here.  I'm still in love with the mountains and ocean and all of that.  But there are a number of cultural differences as well.  In a lot of ways, British Columbia shares more in common with states such as Washington and Califiornia than it does with ( Read more... )

I had Sunday and Monday off two weekends back and am up to do another day of Inspiration deliveries today.  7th day in a row working.  Didn't get finished the last job (had a hot tub to help with in South Surrey, nearly Whiterock yesterday after deliveries and then a grand piano move in Maple Ridge, both part of a 4 man crew so not super heavy work ( Read more... )

I haven't been online much at all lately.  I spent the summer with my mind half set on working with Kary movers for the summer and then moving on to something with more regular hours in September.  Well, so far that hasn't happened.  In fact, I've kind of become the most regular driver for my company.  My boss had one full time driver other than ( Read more... )

My boss gave me today off and warned me that I'd probably be working every day from tomorrow until sometime into August.  Work's that busy and right now they need every driver they can get.  I'm actually fairly happy about it.  By the end of this month I should have rent for the place I'm moving to in Burnaby covered for at least a couple of months ( Read more... )

Just got through a bit of a dry spell with Kary Movers.  Beginning of months are generally slow, so that's to be expected.  Worked a day of temp labour through Workforce yesterday that turned out to be quite enjoyable.  Swamping a truck for Salmon's Rentals... seemed to impress the driver and have a good word to rely on from him if I should decide ( Read more... )
