| top of the line...not quite |
Had a terrible experience renewing my passport 2 weeks ago. I had a 3pm appointment and had to be there 30 minutes prior. When I got there, I noticed the line was long--and worse, we had to wait in tents outside the building. At 2:30pm, this was so not cool (literally). And to top it all off, the same guard that told us where to sit when we got there--by the time we got to the beginning of the line (before lining up again inside the building)--said we were on the wrong time slot. He even managed to make us feel like we cut the line. We of course defended ourselves--but still had to go to the back of our time slot's line. Grrrrr... And just to prove we did not cut the line--the same thing kept happening to different groups of people every thirty minutes. Talk about walang sistema.
Then as soon as you get to the building itself, you realize you just spent the last hour and a half on the first HALF of the lining up process. Bumped into Gerry, Frances' hubby--a welcome sight coz I really needed to know someone I knew who was suffering the same ordeal.
I got to the cashier (Step 2) another hour after I got inside.
It was a breeze from then on. But that's 3 hours of my life waiting in line to get out of this country (even for a while). I sincerely hope the government is doing something about this.
Now I have to wait a whole month till my passport gets delivered.
