Love Is In The Air  

Red hearts, and pink balloons are starting to appear in Hallmark stores around the city, and that means only one thing: Valentine’s Day is coming. Nothing says love better than a gift of chocolate; except a gift of chocolate delivered by Breakaway courier! We’re not called Cupid’s deputies for nothing. Call us.

Post Filming Blues

A strange type of malaise hangs over Breakaway HQ. It’s the letdown that comes after the film crew leaves. When the Travel Channel was here filming us, it was a real rush. Let us tell you, having a crew filming your every move and recording your every utterance is incredibly self-indulgent. Now, they’re gone, our egos have deflated, and we are back to being mere messengers, dispatchers, and, well, mortals. We’ll have to settle for the rush of delivering your packages on time.

Comfort Food

Recently, a Five Guys Burgers opened up near Breakaway HQ. On the one hand, this is great, because it’s convenient. On the other hand, this is terrible, because it’s convenient. We find ourselves going there too much! They even have free peanuts. You can walk in, grab a bag of peanuts, and walk out. How about them nuts?!

Missing Out

Breakaway always prides itself on riding our bicycles to work. However, we do miss some stuff doing it. For instance, we missed out on Pants Optional Day last month, when hundreds of straphangers dropped trouser last month and commuted in just their skivvies. Of course, as we commute by bicycle, trousers are always optional for us. Show some leg!
