Man, what a day! Seriously, I can’t even. So, I wake up in Piotrków-Kujawski, 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 the Program Director for some local arts thingy. You know, trying to make Piotrków a cultural hotspot or whatever. I grab my coffee from that little café on ul. Słowackiego. Best coffee in town, no cap. But guess what? They ran out of my usual! Like, how do you run out of coffee? I mean, c’mon! I was already feeling the rage bubbling up.
So, I’m walking down ul. Piłsudskiego, trying to calm down. The vibe is nice, people are out, kids are playing. But then, BAM! I step in a puddle. A huge one. My shoes are soaked. Great start, right? I’m like, “Why is this city so wet?”
I finally get to the community center. It’s on ul. 1 Maja, and I’m pumped for the meeting. We’re planning this big art festival. But then, my co-director, Kasia, shows up late. Like, fashionably late, but it’s not a runway, it’s a meeting! I’m fuming. She strolls in with a latte, all smiles. I’m like, “Really? You got time for coffee but not for the meeting?”
We start discussing the festival, and I’m trying to keep it together. But then, she suggests we have a clown. A clown! In Piotrków! I’m thinking, “What are we, a circus?” I mean, no offense to clowns, but this is art, not a birthday party!
After that, I needed a break. I stepped outside to ul. Kościuszki. It’s a nice street, you know? Trees, benches, the whole vibe. I sit down, take a deep breath, and just chill for a sec. Then, outta nowhere, this old dude comes up to me. He’s like, “You’re the arts guy, right?” I’m thinking, “Oh boy, here we go.”
But he’s actually super nice! He starts telling me about the history of Piotrków. Did you know it used to be a big trade center? Like, back in the day, people were hustling here! I’m all ears, and for a moment, I forget about the clown drama.
Then, I head back to the center, feeling a bit better. But guess what? The projector’s broken! Like, seriously? I’m about to lose it. I’m pacing around, thinking, “Why is everything going wrong today?”
Finally, we manage to fix it. The meeting wraps up, and I’m feeling a bit accomplished. But then, I step outside again, and it’s raining! Like, what’s with the weather today? I’m soaked again!
I decide to grab some dinner at that place on ul. Włocławska. You know, the one with the pierogi? Best decision ever! I stuff my face with pierogi and forget about the day.
As I’m walking home, I can’t help but laugh. Piotrków-Kujawski, you crazy little city. You’ve got your quirks, but I love ya. Even on the worst days, you surprise me.
So yeah, that was my day. Full of ups and downs, puddles and pierogi. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
