Man, what a day! I swear, Boyolali really knows how to throw a curveball. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s blazin’, birds chirpin’, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Ha! Boy, was I wrong.
First off, I hit the road on Jl. Raya Boyolali. Traffic was a mess! Like, come on, people! It’s not a race! I’m just tryin’ to get to the shearing gig. I’m a shearer, ya know? Gotta keep those sheep lookin’ fresh. But nah, I’m stuck behind this old dude in a rusty motorbike. I’m thinkin’, “Dude, you’re not in a hurry, are ya?”
Finally, I get to the farm. It’s on Jl. Diponegoro, right? Beautiful spot, but today? Ugh. The sheep were all riled up. Like, they knew I was comin’ for them. I swear, they were givin’ me the side-eye. I’m like, “Chill, fam, it’s just a haircut!” But they weren’t havin’ it.
So, I start shearin’, and it’s goin’ okay. Then, outta nowhere, this one sheep decides to make a break for it. I’m chasin’ it down Jl. Soekarno-Hatta, and let me tell ya, I’m not built for sprintin’. I’m huffin’ and puffin’, lookin’ like a hot mess. Finally catch it, but not before I trip over a rock. Classic me, right?
After that fiasco, I’m back to work. But then, my shears? They start actin’ up. Like, c’mon! I just sharpened these bad boys! I’m gettin’ mad, like, “Why today of all days?” I’m sweatin’ bullets, and the sheep are just chillin’, lookin’ at me like I’m the crazy one.
Then, outta nowhere, my buddy Rudi shows up. He’s got this huge grin, and I’m like, “What’s up, man?” Turns out, he just won a local fishing contest. I’m like, “Dude, that’s awesome!” We celebrate with some street food from this warung on Jl. Merdeka. Best fried tofu ever! I’m munchin’ away, and for a sec, I forget about the chaos.
But then, I get a call. It’s my boss. He’s like, “Where are you?” I’m like, “Dude, I’m shearin’ sheep!” He’s all stressed, sayin’ we got a big order comin’ in. I’m like, “Chill, I got this!” But inside, I’m freakin’ out.
So, I rush back to the farm, and guess what? The sheep are gone! Like, poof! I’m thinkin’, “Did they form a union or somethin’?” I’m runnin’ around, lookin’ like a madman. Finally, I find them chillin’ by the river on Jl. Kali Boyolali. Just relaxin’, like they don’t have a care in the world. I’m losin’ it!
After a long battle, I finally get them sheared. I’m exhausted, but hey, I did it! I’m feelin’ like a champ. But then, I realize I left my phone at the warung. Ugh! So, I sprint back, and of course, it’s gone. I’m like, “Great, just great!”
By the end of the day, I’m beat. But I can’t help but laugh. Boyolali, man. It’s wild. Full of surprises, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Just another day in the life of a shearer, I guess!
