Man, what a day! I swear, I’ve never had such a rollercoaster in Vlissingen. Like, seriously, who knew this little Dutch town could pack so much chaos?
So, I roll outta bed, right? It’s a typical gray morning. I’m like, “Ugh, another day of auditing.” But hey, I’m in Vlissingen, so at least I got the sea nearby. I grab my coffee from that cute little café on the corner of Nieuwstraat. You know the one? The barista there is always super chill. I’m like, “Yo, can I get a double shot?” She just laughs and says, “You need it!”
I hit the streets, and man, it’s windy! Like, I’m talking hair-blowing-everywhere kinda windy. I’m strutting down the Boulevard Bankert, feeling all fancy, when BAM! A seagull swoops down and nearly takes my sandwich! I’m like, “Dude, that’s my lunch!” But the bird just gives me this look like, “Sorry, not sorry.”
Anyway, I finally get to the office, and it’s a madhouse. My boss is all stressed, papers flying everywhere. I’m like, “Chill, it’s just numbers.” But he’s on some next level of panic. Turns out, there’s a huge audit coming up for some shipping company. You know, the ones that dock at the harbor? Yeah, that one.
So, I dive into the numbers. I’m staring at spreadsheets for hours. My eyes are burning, and I’m like, “Why did I choose this life?” But then, I find this massive discrepancy. I’m talking thousands of euros missing! I’m like, “What the actual heck?” I run to my boss, and he’s like, “You sure?” I’m like, “Dude, I’m not blind!”
Now, I’m all hyped up, adrenaline pumping. We gotta investigate this. So, we head down to the harbor. The smell of the sea hits me, and I’m like, “Okay, this isn’t so bad.” But then, we meet this grumpy old dockworker. He’s like, “What do you want?” I’m thinking, “Wow, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.”
We ask him about the shipping logs, and he just shrugs. I’m like, “C’mon, man, help us out!” But he’s not having it. I’m getting frustrated. I mean, I’m just trying to do my job here!
After a while, we finally get some info. Turns out, there’s been some shady stuff going on. I’m like, “Aha! I knew it!” My boss is all excited, and I’m feeling like a detective or something.
But then, just when I think it’s all coming together, it starts pouring rain. I’m talking torrential downpour. I’m soaked, my papers are ruined, and I’m like, “Great, just great.” I can’t even see where I’m going on the way back to the office. I’m slipping on the cobblestones of the Lange Zelke, cursing under my breath.
Finally, I get back, looking like a drowned rat. My coworkers are laughing at me. I’m like, “Yeah, yeah, laugh it up.” But then, I get a call from a client. They’re freaking out about the audit. I’m like, “Dude, chill! We’re on it!”
By the end of the day, I’m exhausted. I head to the beach to clear my head. The sun peeks out, and I’m like, “Okay, this is nice.” I sit on the sand, watching the waves crash. It’s peaceful. I think about how crazy today was.
So, yeah, that was my day in Vlissingen. Full of ups and downs, but hey, that’s life, right? I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Well, maybe a dry shirt. But you get the point!
