Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, being an abrasive blaster in Ilut is like riding a rollercoaster blindfolded. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s blazin’ through my window on Keren Street. I’m like, “Great, another scorcher.” But hey, I’m used to it.
First stop, grab some coffee at that little joint on Shimon Peres Ave. You know the one? The barista’s always got that wild hair and a smile that says, “I’ve seen things.” I order my usual—black, no sugar. I need that jolt.
Then, boom! My buddy calls. He’s like, “Dude, you won’t believe this!” Apparently, there’s a construction site on HaYarkon Street that needs urgent blasting. I’m like, “I’m on it!” I mean, who doesn’t love a little chaos, right?
So I roll up to the site, and it’s a mess. Dust everywhere, workers runnin’ around like headless chickens. I’m thinkin’, “This is gonna be fun.” I suit up, grab my gear, and get to work. The first blast? Epic! It’s like fireworks but with dirt. I’m feelin’ like a rockstar.
But then, outta nowhere, this guy starts yellin’. “Hey! You can’t do that!” I’m like, “Chill, man. I’m just doin’ my job.” Turns out, he’s the site manager. Total buzzkill. He’s all about safety and regulations. I get it, but c’mon! I’m not tryin’ to blow up the city! Just cleanin’ it up a bit.
After a few more blasts, I’m feelin’ good. The sun’s settin’ over the Ilut skyline, and it’s beautiful. I take a moment to breathe it in. But then, my phone buzzes. It’s my girl. She’s like, “Where are you? Dinner’s ready!” I’m like, “Babe, I’m in the middle of a blast zone!”
Finally, I wrap up and head home. I’m covered in dust, lookin’ like a raccoon. I walk in, and she’s laughin’. “You look like you’ve been through a war!” I’m like, “You have no idea.”
Dinner’s great, though. She made my fave—shakshuka. I’m scarfing it down, and she’s tellin’ me about her day. I love that. She’s got this way of makin’ the mundane sound exciting.
But then, I remember the site manager. I’m still kinda mad about it. I mean, dude, lighten up! It’s just a little blasting! I tell her about it, and she rolls her eyes. “You know how it is, babe. Some people just don’t get it.”
After dinner, I crash on the couch. I’m exhausted but happy. Ilut’s a wild place, man. You never know what’s gonna happen. One minute you’re blasting away, the next you’re havin’ dinner with the love of your life.
As I drift off, I think about tomorrow. More blasting, more chaos. Can’t wait! Ilut, you crazy city, you’ve got my heart.
