Man, what a day! I swear, being a librarian in Bovisio-Masciago is like riding a rollercoaster with no seatbelt. So, I roll into work at the Biblioteca Comunale, right? It’s a cozy little spot on Via Roma, but today? Ugh, chaos central.
First off, I’m just getting my coffee fix at the bar down the street. You know, the one near the piazza? I’m all set to sip my cappuccino and enjoy the morning sun. But nooo, the barista spills hot milk all over the counter. I’m like, “Dude, what’s your deal?” He just shrugs. I mean, come on! It’s not rocket science.
Anyway, I finally get my drink and head to the library. The streets are buzzing. Kids are running around, and I’m dodging bicycles on Via Garibaldi. Seriously, it’s like a scene from a movie. I get to the library, and it’s packed. I mean, who knew Bovisio-Masciago had so many bookworms?
So, I’m sorting through the new arrivals. We got some cool stuff, like the latest thriller and a bunch of cookbooks. But then, this kid—let’s call him “Little Tornado”—comes in. He’s like a whirlwind, grabbing books off the shelves. I’m trying to keep my cool, but he’s making a mess. I’m like, “Dude, chill! This ain’t a playground!” But he just laughs and runs off. Kids, man.
Then, outta nowhere, the fire alarm goes off. I’m thinking, “Great, just what I need.” Everyone starts panicking. I’m trying to herd the kids out, but they’re all like, “Is it a drill?” I’m like, “No, it’s a real-life horror movie!” We finally get outside, and it turns out it was just a malfunction. I’m standing there, heart racing, thinking, “I need a vacation.”
After that, I’m finally catching my breath when this sweet old lady comes in. She’s looking for a book on gardening. I’m all about helping her out, right? We chat about her roses and how she loves to spend time in her garden on Via Dante. It’s nice, you know? Makes me forget the chaos for a sec.
But then, just as I’m feeling all warm and fuzzy, my phone buzzes. It’s my boss. She’s like, “We need to talk about the budget cuts.” Ugh, budget cuts? In Bovisio-Masciago? Seriously? I’m ready to throw my phone out the window. Libraries are supposed to be safe havens, not battlegrounds for money!
So, I’m fuming, but I gotta keep it together. I mean, I love this place. The people, the vibe, the little quirks of Bovisio-Masciago. Like, did you know we have a statue of a famous poet in the park? Yeah, I can’t remember his name, but he’s got a cool hat.
Anyway, the day drags on. I’m shelving books, and I keep thinking about how much I love this town. The little streets, the cafes, the way the sun sets over the old buildings. It’s beautiful, even when it’s chaotic.
Finally, I close up shop. I’m exhausted but happy. I walk home down Via Roma, the sun setting behind me. I think about all the crazy stuff that happened today. It’s wild, but it’s my life. Bovisio-Masciago, you’re a hot mess, but I wouldn’t trade you for anything.
So, yeah, that was my day. Just another rollercoaster in this little town. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
