Man, what a day! I swear, Cerese really knows how to throw a curveball. So, I’m a dental tech, right? Just another day in the lab, chillin’ with my tools and molds. But nah, not today.
First off, I’m cruisin’ down Via Roma, and it’s like the universe decided to mess with me. I hit a pothole—like, a legit crater. My coffee goes flying. I’m talkin’ hot java everywhere. I’m cursing like a sailor. “Great, just great!” I yell. The locals probably thought I was nuts.
Then I get to work, and it’s chaos. My boss, Marco, is in a mood. He’s pacing like a lion in a cage. “We need those crowns by noon!” he barks. I’m like, “Dude, chill. It’s 9 AM!” But he’s not having it. I’m sweating bullets.
So, I’m grinding away, and then boom! Power goes out. Just my luck, right? I’m stuck in the dark, surrounded by dental molds and tools. I can’t even see my hand in front of my face. I’m fumbling around, trying to find my phone. Finally, I get a flashlight app going.
While I’m in the dark, I start thinking about how Cerese is such a wild place. Like, you got the beautiful hills, the vineyards, and then you got the crazy streets. Via Garibaldi is always packed. I mean, who doesn’t love a good gelato from that little shop on the corner?
Anyway, power comes back, and I’m back to work. I’m finally getting into a groove when my buddy Luca pops in. He’s all smiles, like he just won the lottery. “Dude, you won’t believe it! I found a hidden trattoria on Via Mazzini!” I’m like, “Luca, focus! We got crowns to make!” But he’s relentless.
So, I take a break, and we head to this trattoria. It’s tucked away, all cozy and charming. The food? Oh man, it’s like a hug from Nonna. I’m devouring pasta like it’s my last meal. I’m happy, like, really happy.
But then, I get a call from Marco. “Where are you?” he snaps. I’m like, “Chill, I’m just grabbing lunch!” He’s not having it. I rush back, stomach full, but my heart’s racing.
Back at the lab, I’m working like a madman. I’m sweating, I’m stressed, but I’m also kinda pumped. I love this job, even when it drives me nuts. I’m shaping crowns, and it’s like art.
Then, outta nowhere, my phone buzzes. It’s a message from my sister. “Hey, I’m in Cerese! Let’s meet!” I’m like, “What?!” She’s in town, and I had no clue. I’m torn. Work or family?
I finish up, and I’m outta there. I race to the piazza, and there she is, waving like a maniac. We hug, and it’s like all the stress melts away. We grab a spritz at a bar on Via Cavour. The sun’s setting, and Cerese looks magical.
We laugh, we reminisce, and I forget about the crazy day. I’m reminded why I love this city. The streets, the people, the food—it’s all part of the chaos.
As the night rolls in, I’m walking home, feeling grateful. Cerese, you wild beast, you’ve got my heart. What a day, huh?
