First notable ferry story

Today while directing traffic up at the street, a guy handed me a "homemade watermelon lollipop". I thanked him and told him that he was amazing. There was no way I was going to eat it. When I came down to the ticket booths, I showed it to my co-worker, Jed. He said that he wanted it so I gave it to him and told him to let me know if he started to smell colors after he ate it. Apparently there were no side effects, at least not that he admitted to.

My New Life

I've decided to blog any funny, weird, interesting stories from my new job at Washington State Ferries in case I want to write a book someday. Today in training for WSF the quote of the day is: We're dealing with the public and the public is not stable. Expect the unexpected." Some form of this quote will probably be my book title.

I guess nothing good happened in 2012. Finally, we have a new quote of the day!

Today's quote is from Ian Todd. ME: Did you scream like a little girl? IAN: "No, I screamed like a little girl who doesn't have to question her manhood."

Today's quote comes from Mike Patricelli. "I think we came from the era of Tards, But we were, and are now WAY cool." So true, Mike!

Another snow day, another bunch of kids.

This time it was Kenneth who caused the Re-Take. Then, sadly, after picture time was done I realized that Rachael was missing from the photo. Back Row: Joaquin, Tajinique, Rebecca, Daniel, Tim, Jayden, Emilio. Front Row: Kevin, Alissa, Kenneth.

Teenagers in the 'Hood

The kids were so adorable, watching YouTube videos and laughing together, so I had to take a picture of them. But then Kevin looked dumb so I said, "Try again and this time look cute." Anisa popped up out of nowhere; I didn't even know that she was there. Johnny looks just the same, weird and creepy.
