Stuck in Canadian Hell
Laurel Hell Under 8 inches of Snow
Every month since September I travel to Trois Rivieres, Canada for 3ish days for my job. And every month since September, I grow increasingly tired of traveling, something I used to enjoy very much. I think what makes these trips something I only look forward to being over is that I have really struggled to make friends on my team. Don’t get me wrong, I have lots of friends at work, like my officemate and carpool buddy, its just really difficult to make friends on a team that I joined mid-project. I get along swimingly with my two managers, but they are 8-15 years older than me! And I can only hangout with 30-somethings who are my bosses for so many minutes of my 106 hour trip.
Something I’ve been doing to, I guess, deal with being so lonely on this trips is being really cool-looking so people want to be my friend. And also being really funny in the full team group chat; I’ve been getting lots of laugh reactions. This blog is a good outlet I think, and also it gives me a lot of time to play video games. The biggest downside to gaming, though, is that bringing my Steam Deck is kinda a pain with trying to travel light.
Also Tinder in 3R SUCKS, especially as a lesbian. I need to find what apps the gays use in Canada because I refuse to believe there aren’t any lesbians in this city.
