Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, Roissy-en-Brie really knows how to throw a curveball. I woke up thinkin’ it’d be just another grind, ya know? Just me, my gear, and a whole lotta dust. But nah, the universe had other plans.
So, I roll outta bed, grab my coffee—black, like my soul—and head out. The sun’s barely up, but I’m already feelin’ the heat. I hop on my bike, zoomin’ down Rue de la République. It’s a chill street, but today? Today it felt like a racetrack. I’m dodgin’ potholes like I’m in some kinda video game.
First stop, a job at this old factory near Rue de l’Industrie. Man, this place was a relic. I’m talkin’ rusty pipes, peeling paint, the whole shebang. I set up my blaster, ready to go. But then, bam! The compressor decides it’s had enough. Just my luck, right? I’m standin’ there, fumin’. Like, c’mon! I’m not here for a tech support gig!
While I’m messin’ with the compressor, I hear this loud crash. I whip around, and there’s this dude, totally wiped out on his bike. He’s sprawled out on the ground, lookin’ like a sad pancake. I rush over, heart racin’. Turns out, he just hit a pothole. I help him up, and he’s like, “Thanks, man! I thought I was done for!” I laugh, tell him he’s lucky I’m not a paramedic.
After that little drama, I finally get the compressor workin’. I’m blastin’ away, and it feels good. The dust is flyin’, and I’m in my zone. But then, outta nowhere, this old lady walks by. She’s givin’ me the dirtiest look. Like, lady, I’m just tryin’ to do my job! I mean, I get it, dust ain’t great, but c’mon!
I finish up, covered in grime, and head to grab lunch at this little spot on Rue de la Mairie. Best sandwiches in town, no joke. I order a jambon-beurre, and while I’m waitin’, I overhear this couple arguing. They’re goin’ at it about… I dunno, something dumb. I can’t help but chuckle. Love is wild, man.
After lunch, I’m back at it. This time, I’m at a park near Rue des Écoles. Kids are playin’, parents are chillin’. I’m thinkin’, “This is nice.” But then, I see a kid throw a rock. And not just any rock—a big one. It flies right past me! I duck like I’m in a war zone. The kid’s mom freaks out, and I’m just standin’ there, tryin’ not to laugh.
As the day winds down, I’m headin’ home, and I can’t shake the feeling that Roissy-en-Brie is full of surprises. I mean, one minute I’m blastin’ away at some old factory, and the next I’m dodgin’ rocks and helping bikers. It’s a wild ride, for sure.
I finally get home, exhausted but happy. I plop down on the couch, thinkin’ about all the craziness. Roissy-en-Brie, you’re a trip. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
