Man, what a day! Craiova really knows how to throw a curveball. I woke up thinking it’d be just another boring Tuesday, but boy, was I wrong.
First off, I hit the streets of Craiova around 8 AM. The sun was shining, and I was feeling good. I mean, who wouldn’t? I grabbed a coffee from that little place on Strada Mihai Viteazul. You know the one? The barista there is a legend. He always remembers my order. But today? He messed it up! I ordered a cappuccino, and he gave me a black coffee. Like, c’mon, dude! I’m not trying to wake up like I just got hit by a truck.
So, I’m walking down Strada Unirii, trying to shake off the coffee drama. The street was buzzing, as usual. People rushing, cars honking, and that one guy selling flowers on the corner. I swear, he’s there every day. I wonder if he ever goes home. Anyway, I’m in my zone, thinking about my clients and their financial messes.
Then, outta nowhere, I bump into my old buddy, Andrei. We used to hang out all the time back in the day. He’s like, “Yo, man! Long time no see!” We start chatting, and he tells me he’s got a new gig. Something about crypto. I’m like, “Dude, you’re gonna lose your shirt!” But he’s all hyped up. I mean, who isn’t these days?
After that, I head to my office on Strada Calea București. It’s a cozy little spot, but today it felt like a sauna. I’m sweating bullets, trying to focus on spreadsheets. My phone rings. It’s a client. Let’s call her “Maria.” She’s freaking out about her investments. I mean, I get it. The market’s a rollercoaster. But she’s yelling, and I’m just sitting there like, “Chill, Maria! We’ll figure it out.”
Finally, I manage to calm her down. But then, I get another call. This time, it’s from my boss. He’s like, “We need to talk about your performance.” Ugh, seriously? I’m doing my best here! I’m juggling clients like a circus act.
Lunchtime rolls around, and I decide to treat myself. I hit up that little bistro on Strada Rovine. You know, the one with the best mici in town? I order a plate, and it’s glorious. I’m sitting there, enjoying my food, when I overhear this couple arguing. Like, full-on shouting. I can’t help but eavesdrop. Turns out, they’re fighting about money. Classic, right?
After lunch, I’m back at it. More clients, more spreadsheets. But then, I get a surprise. A new client walks in. She’s young, maybe in her 20s, and she’s got this wild idea about starting a business. I’m intrigued. We chat for a while, and I’m thinking, “This girl’s got guts!” It’s refreshing, you know?
As the day winds down, I’m feeling a mix of emotions. Happy, stressed, surprised. Craiova really knows how to keep you on your toes. I step outside, and the sun’s setting. The sky’s all orange and pink over the city. It’s beautiful.
I walk home, reflecting on the day. I love this city, with its crazy streets and even crazier people. Craiova, you’ve got my heart. But man, I need a drink. Tomorrow’s another day, and I’m ready for whatever you throw at me!
