Day 31

Took a fast ferry to Dumaguete, Negros Island—PhP520/person, 2-hour ride. One passenger’s ticket was blown off into the water. Fortunately for him, a guard was right there to witness it, so hopefully he didn’t have any problem boarding. Some seemingly stupid events: Someone painted the ticket counter that morning. There was a sign “Wet Paint” but it didn’t have any arrow to indicate where the wet paint was and it was posted above most of the passengers’ eye level. I got paint on my hand. Some got paint on their clothes and purses. What kind of mind would think that painting a ticket counter during the busiest time of the day would work? I was so mad that I pulled the posters down and taped them lower and taped one on the counter itself. The painting was ruined already from too many accidents. Then it turned out that whoever was issuing the seat number was not keeping track of it. One guy approached me and said, “You’re sitting on my seat.” Turned out we have the same seat number. He was gentleman enough to realize I was issued the number first, therefore, his was a mistake. Hopefully he found an empty one.
