Man, what a day! I swear, Saldus is a wild ride sometimes. So, I roll outta bed, right? It’s like 6 AM, and I’m already feelin’ the pressure. Gotta manage cargo, trucks, and all that jazz. But first, coffee. I hit up this little café on Rīgas iela. Best coffee in town, no joke. I grab my usual – double espresso, extra shot. I need it.
So, I’m chugging my coffee, and boom! My phone buzzes. It’s my driver, Jānis. He’s stuck on Pils iela. Like, seriously? Pils? That street’s always a mess. I mean, who designed this place? A blindfolded raccoon? Anyway, he’s like, “Yo, I can’t move. Traffic’s nuts!” I’m like, “Dude, just take a detour!” But no, he’s too busy staring at the cars like they’re a magic show or something.
I finish my coffee and dash out. The weather’s all over the place. One minute it’s sunny, the next it’s raining cats and dogs. Typical Saldus, right? I’m sprinting down the street, dodging puddles like I’m in some kind of Olympic event. I get to the office, and it’s chaos. Papers everywhere, phones ringing. I’m like, “Can I get a break here?”
Then, I get a call from our supplier. They’re late. Again. I mean, come on! How hard is it to be on time? I’m about to lose it. I’m pacing around like a caged lion. I can’t even think straight. I start muttering to myself, “Saldus, you’re testing my patience!”
Finally, I decide to take a breather. I step outside, and guess what? I bump into my old buddy, Andris. He’s just chillin’ by the fountain on the corner of Dārza iela. We start chatting, and suddenly, I’m laughing. Like, how does he always manage to lighten the mood? He tells me about this crazy party last weekend. Apparently, someone tried to do a backflip off the fountain. Spoiler: it didn’t end well. Classic Saldus.
After a quick catch-up, I head back to the office. I’m feeling a bit better, but then I get another call. This time, it’s from the warehouse. They’ve mixed up the shipments. Ugh! I can’t even. I’m ready to pull my hair out. I mean, how do you mix up a shipment of apples and a shipment of tires? It’s not rocket science!
I grab my jacket and head to the warehouse. The drive is a mess. I’m stuck behind some slowpoke on Jāņa iela. I’m honking like a maniac. “C’mon, move it!” I’m yelling at my windshield. Finally, I get there, and it’s a disaster zone. Boxes everywhere, and no one knows what’s what. I’m like, “Guys, we’re not playing Tetris here!”
After sorting that mess out, I finally get a moment to breathe. I step outside, and the sun’s peeking through the clouds. It’s kinda nice. I take a deep breath and think, “Okay, Saldus, you’re not so bad.” I even spot a couple of kids playing soccer on the street. They’re having a blast, and it reminds me of my childhood.
But then, just when I think it’s all good, my phone buzzes again. It’s Jānis. He’s broken down. On the way to deliver! I can’t even. I’m like, “Dude, you’ve gotta be kidding me!” I’m ready to throw my phone.
I rush over to help him. He’s on the side of the road, looking all defeated. I can’t help but laugh. “You really need to get your act together, man!” We manage to fix the truck, but it takes forever. By the time we’re done, it’s already evening.
I finally get home, and I’m exhausted. I flop on the couch, and all I can think is, “What a day!” Saldus, you’re a rollercoaster. But hey, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It’s my crazy little town, full of surprises. And tomorrow? Who knows what’ll happen next!
