Man, what a day! I swear, Hayes (jm) is a wild ride. I woke up thinking it’d be just another boring day as an insurance investigator. Boy, was I wrong! First off, I hit the road on Main St. You know, the one that’s always packed with cars and people? Yeah, that one. I’m cruising along, jamming to some tunes, when BAM! A pigeon decides to dive-bomb my windshield. Like, seriously? Who does that? I almost swerved into a lamppost. Thanks, Hayes, for the morning adrenaline rush. So, I finally get to my first case. It’s on Maple Ave. This lady claims her car got stolen. But here’s the kicker—she’s parked it in front of a donut shop. I mean, c’mon! Who leaves their car unattended in front of a donut shop? I’m thinking, “Lady, you’re just asking for trouble.” I walk in, and the smell of fresh donuts hits me like a brick. I’m trying to focus, but those glazed beauties are calling my name. I ask her a few questions, and she’s all teary-eyed. I’m like, “Did you really think no one would notice your car was gone?” She just stares at me, like I’m the bad guy. After that, I head over to Oak St. to check out a suspicious claim. This dude says he slipped on a banana peel. A banana peel! I’m not even kidding. I’m thinking, “Is this a cartoon or real life?” I get there, and the guy’s sitting on his porch, looking all smug. I ask him about it, and he’s like, “Yeah, it was a slippery one.” I can’t help but laugh. I mean, who even has banana peels lying around? Then, I get a call about a fire on Elm St. I rush over, and it’s chaos. Fire trucks everywhere, people yelling. I’m trying to do my job, but it’s hard to focus with all the sirens blaring. Turns out, it was a small fire in a garage. But the drama? Oh man, it was like a soap opera. Neighbors were pointing fingers, and I’m just standing there, trying to take notes. By the time I get back to my car, I’m exhausted. I’m parked on Birch St., and I can’t find my keys. I’m digging through my bag, cursing under my breath. I finally find them in my pocket. Classic me, right? As I’m driving home, I can’t help but think about the day. Hayes (jm) is a trip. One minute you’re dealing with a stolen car, the next it’s banana peels and garage fires. It’s like a never-ending circus. I pull into my driveway, and I’m just done. I flop onto my couch, thinking about all the craziness. I love this job, but man, some days are just too much. I wouldn’t trade it for anything, though. Hayes keeps me on my toes, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. So, here’s to another wild day in Hayes (jm). Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
