Man, what a day! I swear, Ulbroka just threw me a curveball. I woke up thinking it’d be chill. Just another day supervising the crew, right? Wrong!
First off, I hit the road on Rīgas iela. You know, the main drag. Traffic was a nightmare. Like, seriously, who taught these drivers how to drive? I almost lost it. I mean, c’mon, it’s not rocket science!
So, I finally get to the site on Daugavas iela. The crew’s already there, but guess what? Half of ‘em are late. Classic! I’m standing there, tapping my foot, thinking, “Where the heck are they?” Turns out, they got stuck at the bakery. I mean, who can blame ‘em? Those pastries at “Ulbrokas Maiznīca” are to die for. But still, c’mon, priorities, people!
Then, outta nowhere, it starts pouring. Like, cats and dogs, man! I’m soaked, my clipboard’s ruined, and I’m just standing there, looking like a drowned rat. But hey, I gotta keep it together, right? So I’m yelling, “Get the tarps! We’re not stopping!”
And then, just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, my phone buzzes. It’s my boss. He’s like, “Hey, how’s it going?” I’m like, “Oh, you know, just supervising a wet circus!” He didn’t even laugh. Ugh!
After the rain, the sun pops out. Typical Ulbroka weather, right? One minute it’s a monsoon, the next it’s sunny. I’m sweating buckets now. I’m thinking, “Great, now I’m a sweaty mess.” But then, I see this little kid on the street, riding his bike down Brīvības iela, just grinning ear to ear. It’s like he’s living his best life. I can’t help but smile. Kids have it figured out, man.
So, we finally get back to work. I’m trying to rally the troops, and I’m like, “Let’s get this done, folks!” But then, one of the guys trips over a toolbox. I mean, really? It’s like a scene from a comedy. He goes down hard, and I’m trying not to laugh. But I can’t help it!
Later, we take a break at the park near Ulbroka’s lake. It’s beautiful there, you know? The ducks are quacking, and I’m just sitting there, trying to chill. But then, I see this group of teenagers blasting music. Like, come on! Can’t a guy catch a break? I’m trying to enjoy nature, and they’re over here with their loud beats.
But then, I overhear them talking about their plans for the weekend. They’re going to some festival in Rīga. I remember those days! I used to party like there was no tomorrow. Now, I’m just a supervisor. Life changes, huh?
As the day winds down, I’m exhausted. I’m driving home on Rīgas iela again, and I can’t help but think about how crazy today was. I mean, who knew Ulbroka could be so wild? I pull into my driveway, and I’m just like, “What a ride.”
I flop onto the couch, and I’m just grateful. Grateful for the chaos, the laughs, and even the rain. It’s all part of the Ulbroka experience, right? Tomorrow’s another day, and I’m ready for whatever it throws at me. Bring it on!
