Man, what a day! I swear, Santa Margherita Ligure is a wild ride. I woke up thinking it’d be chill, ya know? Just another day supervising the crew. But nah, the universe had other plans.
First off, I hit the Via Roma for my morning coffee. You know, the good stuff. I’m talking about that rich espresso that slaps you awake. But guess what? The barista, bless her heart, spills half of it on me! Like, c’mon! I’m not a walking coffee cup! I’m drenched in caffeine. Great start, right?
So, I’m walking down to the marina, trying to shake it off. The view is insane, tho. The turquoise water, the colorful boats bobbing around. I mean, who wouldn’t wanna work here? But then, I see this seagull. And not just any seagull. This dude is like the king of the skies. He swoops down and snatches a sandwich right outta some tourist’s hand! I’m dying laughing. Like, bro, that’s some next-level thievery.
Then, I get to the office on Via Mazzini. My team’s already buzzing. They’re all like, “Boss, you won’t believe what happened!” Turns out, the delivery guy mixed up our orders. We got 50 pizzas instead of 5 salads. I mean, who needs that much pizza? But hey, I’m not complaining. Free lunch, right?
But then, the real drama starts. My buddy Marco, he’s late. Like, super late. I’m pacing around, thinking, “Where the heck is he?” Turns out, he got stuck in traffic on the Via Aurelia. Classic Marco. He’s always late. But when he finally shows up, he’s got this wild story about a cat stuck in a tree. I’m like, “Dude, you’re a grown man. Why are you rescuing cats?” But I can’t help but laugh.
After that, we head out for a team walk along the Lungomare. The sun’s shining, the gelato shops are calling my name. I’m thinking, “Life is good.” But then, I trip over a cobblestone. Like, seriously? I’m a supervisor, not a circus act! I almost face-planted into the gelato stand.
Later, we decide to hit up this little trattoria on Via Della Libertà. The food is bomb. I’m talking homemade pasta that makes you wanna cry. But then, the waiter spills wine all over my shirt. I’m like, “Is this a trend today?” I’m starting to think I should just wear a bib.
As the day winds down, we’re all sitting by the marina, watching the sunset. The sky’s on fire, and I’m feeling all the feels. I’m grateful for my team, for this crazy city, and for the unexpected moments.
But then, outta nowhere, a boat zooms by, splashing water everywhere. I’m soaked again! I can’t even. I’m laughing and cursing at the same time.
So yeah, Santa Margherita Ligure, you’ve got my heart. You’re chaotic, beautiful, and full of surprises. I wouldn’t trade this day for anything. Just maybe a little less coffee and a few less spills next time, okay?
