Man, what a day! Seriously, I can’t even. So, I’m in Telese, right? This little gem in Italy, and let me tell ya, it’s a wild ride. I woke up thinking it’d be just another boring day as an Assistant Secretary. Spoiler alert: it was anything but.
First off, I’m strolling down Via Roma, and it’s like the sun decided to throw a party. I’m talking bright, blinding light. I squint like I’m in a bad movie. But hey, I’m feeling good. Coffee in hand, I’m ready to tackle whatever comes my way. Little did I know, the universe had other plans.
I get to the office, and boom! My boss, Mr. Grumpy Pants, is already in a mood. He’s pacing like a caged lion. I mean, chill dude, it’s just Tuesday. But no, he’s all about that “urgent” meeting vibe. Ugh. So, I’m stuck in this tiny room on Via Cavour, listening to him rant about budgets and deadlines. My brain’s like, “Help! Send coffee!”
Then, outta nowhere, the fire alarm goes off. Like, seriously? In the middle of his rant? I’m half-expecting a dramatic exit, but nope. Everyone just sits there. I’m like, “Guys, this is not a drill!” But they’re all too busy pretending to take notes. I’m losing it.
Finally, we escape, and I’m outside, gasping for air. The fresh air hits me like a wave. I’m standing in Piazza Minieri, and it’s beautiful. The fountains are splashing, and there’s this old guy playing the accordion. I can’t help but smile. It’s like a scene from a movie. I snap a quick pic for the ‘gram. #LivingMyBestLife, right?
But then, I get a text. My friend, Luca, is in town. He’s like, “Let’s grab a drink!” I’m all in. So, I rush over to Bar Centrale on Via Roma. I’m thinking, “Finally, some fun!” But when I get there, he’s not alone. He brought his cousin, who’s a total know-it-all. Great. Just what I need.
We’re chatting, and I’m trying to keep it light, but this dude starts talking about politics. I’m like, “Dude, it’s 5 PM. Let’s not ruin the vibe.” But he’s relentless. I’m rolling my eyes so hard, I think I might pass out.
Then, outta nowhere, Luca spills his drink all over me. I’m soaked! I’m standing there, dripping like a wet dog, and everyone’s laughing. I can’t help but laugh too. It’s ridiculous. I mean, who spills a drink in a bar?
After that, we decide to hit up the thermal baths. I’m thinking, “Yes! Relaxation time!” But when we get there, it’s packed. Like, sardines in a can packed. I’m not about that life. I need my space, ya know?
So, I’m sitting there, trying to chill, but all I can hear is this kid screaming. I’m like, “Can someone please take that child out?” But no one does. I’m losing my zen.
Finally, I decide to take a dip in the hot springs. It’s nice, but then I realize I forgot my towel. Classic me. So, I’m walking around like a wet noodle, trying to find a spot to dry off.
As the day winds down, I’m back on Via Cavour, and I can’t help but think about how crazy it was. I mean, from fire alarms to spilled drinks to thermal baths, it was a rollercoaster.
I grab a slice of pizza from this little joint, and it’s heavenly. I’m talking cheesy goodness. I sit on a bench, watching the sunset over the hills. It’s peaceful. I take a deep breath and think, “Yeah, Telese, you’re alright.”
So, that was my day. Full of chaos, laughter, and a bit of drama. Just another Tuesday in Telese, I guess. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
