WAFO-21 Connecting in from Rock Bay
I stopped by the Union Pacific Coffee shop on Herald for the first time earlier in the summer. They were under renovation at the time, so I bookmarked a note to come back someday. Once they re-opened, I was surprised to find that they’re offering...
WAFO-20 a nomination for this remote-work location
I wound up at Spinnaker’s back-patio one day recently, not to work, but pulled out my machine anyway. Such a lovely scene here over-looking Victoria’s Outer Harbour, under a clear blue sky. This patio has potential as a remote-work location, but I couldn’t lock into...
WAFO-19 Cook Street village working vibes
I haven’t spent many working hours at this location since the before-times. Back in those days, I’d spend night-hours here, along with a bunch of students and entrepreneurs that turned the place into an evening study hall. After all, they had all the coffee you...
WAFO-18 Sherwood Lounge zone
Somehow I’ve not blogged this remote work spot until now, which is surprising as it has become one of my favourites! Sherwood Lounge is located at 1515 Douglas Street, in the same building as my employer. The Sherwood is a spot for remote work nearly...
WAFO-17 Working with the Kwencheronis!
Back in April, I finally decided to buy into a membership at the Club Kwench co-working & culture space in Rock Bay. OMG. What an awesome space to work in! See here, I got plenty of natural light at my hot-desk location in the open...
WAFO-16 out on Jutland, near the Gorge
An unexpected WAFO treat today, on landing at the Sol Food Cafe out on Jutland Road. Plenty of space, and lots of options on the menu. I liked how large the place was, and not that busy when I pulled in around 8 AM on...
WAFO-15 other Jawl spaces at 1515
This post salutes Jawl Properties, who built and maintain the office complex at 1515 Douglas Street where the Workday suite is. The building has remained open to tenants since the start of the pandemic, so with badge access I have used other spaces I could...
WAFO-14 Get your nose to the Grindstone
I recently started trying out the Grindstone Cafe for coffee, lunch, and snacks in Rock Bay. Nearby is the Club Kwench co-work facility, which also deserves a blog post! The Grindstone Cafe is a family-run coffee-shop / bistro in Rock Bay, at the foot of...
WAFO-13 Working in the Shanzee zone!
In my top-3 spots to work downtown is in Shanzee’s Biscuit Cafe, in Market Square. I’m usually in there on Friday mornings, as my schedule typically doesn’t have too much Zoom activity in it. I can do a Zoom there, as the Wifi is adequate....
WAFO 12 – Good working at Good Earth Coffee House
I landed at the Good Earth Coffee House in James Bay unexpectedly the other day. I often relocate from home to downtown in the middle of the day, and this time, I didn’t quite have the 14 minutes needed to get downtown. So, stopped at...
WAFO 11 – Steamer’s Pub lives on at Leopold’s Tavern
Just had a thought – I could make this blog even more useful by posting the WIFI network name (SSID) and password along with each post! In most cases though, it’s only my computer that has remembered the network username / password. Of interest at...
WAFO-10 beating the heat in Oaklands, remotely
Here we are on one of the hottest days of the year in YYJ, and I took up an invite from a Workmate to stop by his front-yard for a working sesh. Not one to miss a chance to try out a new remote WAFO...
