Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, Benedikt (si) really knows how to throw a curveball. I woke up, ready to blast some stuff, you know? Just another day in the life of an abrasive blaster. But nah, the universe had other plans.
First off, I hit the streets of Benedikt. You ever been down Trg svobode? It’s like the heart of the city. So many people, so much noise. I’m just tryna grab a coffee at that little café on the corner. You know the one? The one with the weird pastries? Yeah, that one. I order my usual, and the barista—let’s call her “Miss Grumpy”—gives me this look like I just asked for a unicorn frappuccino. Chill, lady! It’s just coffee!
So, I’m sippin’ my brew, and boom! A pigeon swoops down and almost takes my head off. Like, what’s up with that? I’m dodging birds now? I swear, they’re plotting against me. I laugh it off, but inside, I’m like, “Really? This is how we’re starting?”
After that, I head over to the job site on Ulica 1. maja. It’s a big ol’ building, and I’m ready to blast away the grime. But guess what? The equipment’s acting up. Typical, right? I’m there, trying to get it to work, and it’s like the machine’s got a mind of its own. I’m yelling at it like it’s a stubborn toddler. “C’mon, you piece of junk!”
Finally, after what feels like an eternity, it starts working. I’m blasting away, and it feels good. The dust is flying, and I’m in my zone. But then, outta nowhere, this guy walks by. He’s all dressed up, looking like he’s headed to a fancy dinner or something. He stops, stares at me, and says, “You call that work?”
I’m like, “Dude, I’m literally blasting dirt off this building. What do you do? Sit in an office?” I mean, come on! Some people just don’t get it.
Then, I take a break and stroll down to the river. The Soča River is beautiful, man. The water’s all turquoise and sparkly. I sit on a bench, just chillin’, and I see this couple taking selfies. They’re all lovey-dovey, and I’m over here like, “Ain’t nobody got time for that!” But honestly, it’s kinda sweet. Makes ya think about life, you know?
But then, I hear this loud crash. I turn around, and some dude just dropped his bike. He’s cursing up a storm, and I can’t help but laugh. Like, bro, it’s just a bike! Get it together!
After my little river break, I head back to work. The sun’s starting to set, and it’s kinda magical. I’m blasting away again, and I’m feeling pumped. But then, I get a call. It’s my buddy, Mark. He’s like, “Yo, you wanna hit up that new bar on Ulica Šempeter?”
I’m like, “Heck yeah!” So, I finish up, and I’m outta there. The bar’s packed, and the vibe is lit. I grab a drink, and we’re just laughing about the day. I tell him about the pigeon, the fancy dude, and the bike crash. We’re dying of laughter.
But then, outta nowhere, I see Miss Grumpy from the café. She’s there, too! I’m like, “Oh great, just what I need.” But then, she actually smiles at me. I’m shocked! Did I just witness a miracle?
The night goes on, and I’m feeling good. Benedikt (si) is wild, man. It’s got its quirks, its surprises, and its moments that make you wanna scream. But at the end of the day, it’s home. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
So yeah, that was my day. Full of chaos, laughter, and a little bit of magic. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
