Man, what a day! I swear, if I had a euro for every twist and turn today, I’d be rich. So, I’m a financial advisor, right? But today, I felt more like a circus clown.
Started off in Casarsa-della-Delizia, this cute lil’ town in Friuli. You know, the kinda place where everyone knows everyone. I mean, I love it here, but sometimes it feels like I’m in a soap opera.
First thing in the morning, I’m cruising down Via Roma, coffee in hand, ready to tackle the day. I’m thinking, “Today’s gonna be smooth sailing.” Ha! Spoiler alert: it wasn’t. I hit up my first client, Mr. Bianchi. This dude is a character. He’s got more opinions than a Facebook group.
So, we’re chatting about investments, and outta nowhere, he starts ranting about the price of prosciutto. Like, dude, I’m here to help you with your portfolio, not your lunch choices! But hey, I get it. Prosciutto is life.
Then, I get a call from my buddy Marco. He’s like, “Yo, you gotta come to the piazza!” I’m thinking, “What now?” Turns out, there’s a street performer doing some wild juggling act. I mean, who knew Casarsa had talent like that? I’m laughing, clapping, and totally forgetting about my next meeting.
But then, BAM! My phone buzzes. It’s my next client, Mrs. Rossi. She’s not happy. Apparently, her stocks took a dive. I’m like, “Chill, it’s just a market fluctuation.” But she’s not having it. “I need my money for my grandkids!” she says. I get it, but c’mon!
After that, I’m feeling the pressure. I decide to take a breather. I stroll down Via Garibaldi, trying to clear my head. The sun’s shining, and I spot this gelato shop. I mean, who can resist gelato, right? I grab a cone—pistachio, of course—and it’s like heaven in my mouth.
But then, I see a commotion. A cat is stuck in a tree! Seriously? In Casarsa? I’m like, “What is this, a cartoon?” So, I join a bunch of locals trying to rescue the poor furball. We’re all yelling, “Come down, kitty!” It’s chaos, but it’s hilarious. Finally, the cat jumps down, and everyone cheers. I’m thinking, “This is the highlight of my day.”
But wait, there’s more! I head back to the office, and my computer crashes. Just my luck, right? I’m staring at the screen like it’s gonna magically fix itself. Spoiler: it doesn’t. I’m cursing under my breath, thinking about all the reports I need to finish.
Finally, I wrap up my day. I’m exhausted but kinda happy. I mean, Casarsa-della-Delizia is wild, but it’s my wild. I love the quirks, the people, the unexpected moments.
As I walk home, I can’t help but smile. Sure, it was a rollercoaster, but that’s life, right? I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Well, maybe for a lifetime supply of gelato. But that’s a different story!
