Man, what a day! I swear, Scorrano really knows how to throw a curveball. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s shining, birds chirping, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Ha! Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill.
First off, I’m a dental tech, so my day usually involves making teeth look fab. But today? Nah, not so much. I’m cruising down Via Roma, and I’m already late. Like, who knew traffic could be this bad in a small town? I mean, c’mon, it’s Scorrano, not Rome! But there I am, stuck behind some dude who’s clearly never heard of a turn signal.
Finally, I get to the lab, and it’s chaos. My boss, Marco, is pacing like a caged lion. He’s all, “Where have you been?!” I’m like, “Dude, chill. I’m here now.” But he’s not having it. Apparently, we had a last-minute appointment for some fancy dental work. Great. Just what I needed.
So, I’m scrambling to get everything ready. I’m mixing up some materials, and of course, I spill some on the floor. Classic me, right? I’m down on my hands and knees, trying to clean it up, and I’m thinking, “Why do I even do this?” But then I remember: I love making people smile. Cheesy, I know, but it’s true.
Then, outta nowhere, this lady walks in. Her name’s Maria, and she’s got this huge smile. She’s like, “I heard you’re the best!” I’m blushing, but also thinking, “Lady, you haven’t seen my mess yet.” But she’s super chill, and we start chatting. Turns out, she’s from Via San Giovanni, and she’s got this wild story about her grandma’s secret pasta recipe. I’m all ears, man.
But then, just as I’m getting into it, my phone buzzes. It’s my buddy Luca. He’s like, “Dude, you gotta come to the piazza later. There’s a festival!” I’m torn. Work or fun? But Maria’s smile is contagious, and I’m like, “Okay, let’s do this!”
Fast forward a few hours, and I’m finally done with Maria’s teeth. They look amazing, by the way. She’s so happy, and I’m feeling like a rockstar. But then, I remember the festival. I bolt outta the lab, and I’m racing down Via Vittorio Emanuele. I can hear the music from a mile away.
When I get to the piazza, it’s packed! There are stalls everywhere, selling all kinds of food. I’m talking arancini, gelato, you name it. I grab a cone of pistachio gelato, and it’s like heaven in my mouth. I’m just standing there, soaking it all in, when I spot Luca. He’s dancing like a maniac, and I can’t help but laugh.
But then, outta nowhere, it starts to rain. Like, seriously? I’m in Scorrano, and it’s pouring! Everyone’s scrambling for cover, and I’m just standing there, soaked and laughing. I mean, what else can you do, right?
After the rain, the sky clears up, and there’s this beautiful rainbow over the piazza. It’s like a scene from a movie. I’m feeling all the feels. Happy, grateful, and a little bit crazy.
As the night goes on, I’m dancing with my friends, and I realize how lucky I am. Scorrano may be small, but it’s got a big heart. I mean, where else can you have a crazy day at work, then end up at a festival with friends, all while eating gelato?
So yeah, today was wild. I went from stressed to blessed in a matter of hours. And honestly, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Scorrano, you’ve got my heart.
