Man, what a day! Seriously, I can’t even. So, I wake up in Capelle-aan-den-IJssel, right? The sun’s shining, birds are chirping, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill.
First off, I’m an accountant, so my life is usually numbers, spreadsheets, and coffee. Lots of coffee. But today? Today was a rollercoaster. I’m cruising down the Hoofdweg, thinking about my first meeting. I’m late, of course. Typical me. I’m zooming past the Capelsebrug, and I swear, I almost hit a cyclist. Dude was all over the place! Like, bro, it’s not a race!
Finally, I get to the office on de Koperwiek. I walk in, and my boss is already fuming. Apparently, I forgot to send out some invoices. Ugh, my bad! I mean, who even cares about invoices, right? But nooo, it’s the end of the world for him. I’m just like, “Chill, man. It’s just numbers.” But he’s all red-faced and shouting. I’m thinking, “Dude, it’s not like we’re in the middle of a financial crisis or something.”
After that lovely start, I head to lunch. I’m starving! I hit up this little café on de Koperwiek. They’ve got the best broodje gezond. I’m talking fresh veggies, creamy mayo, the works. I sit down, take a bite, and boom! My phone buzzes. It’s my buddy, Jan. He’s like, “You won’t believe what happened at the park!” I’m intrigued.
So, I’m munching away, and Jan tells me about this random flash mob at the Capelse Park. Like, what? People dancing outta nowhere? I’m laughing so hard, I almost choke on my sandwich. I mean, who organizes a flash mob in Capelle? Only in this town, right?
After lunch, I head back to the office, and guess what? My computer crashes. Just my luck! I’m sitting there, staring at the screen like it’s gonna magically fix itself. Nope. So, I’m running around like a headless chicken, trying to salvage my work. I’m sweating bullets.
Finally, I get it sorted, but then I find out I have to present to the big bosses. Great. Just what I needed. I’m standing there, heart racing, and I’m like, “Why did I choose accounting?” But I pull it together. I mean, I’ve got this, right? I start talking about the quarterly reports, and halfway through, I see someone yawning. Seriously? I’m pouring my heart out here!
After the meeting, I’m feeling a mix of relief and frustration. I step outside, and it’s raining. Of course, it is. Just my luck. I’m walking down the straat, and I see this cute little dog. It’s all wet and shivering. I can’t help it; I scoop it up. I mean, who can resist a wet puppy?
I take the dog to the nearest shelter on de Koperwiek. They’re super nice, and I’m feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. Like, maybe today wasn’t a total disaster after all. I mean, I saved a dog!
By the time I get home, I’m exhausted. I flop on the couch, and I’m like, “What a day!” I think about Capelle-aan-den-IJssel. It’s quirky, it’s chaotic, but it’s home. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Even with the crazy cyclists, the angry bosses, and the random flash mobs.
So yeah, that was my day. Just another wild ride in Capelle. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
