Slept Through My Stop

Apparently not only was I having a bad day today, but I was also more tired than I realized. I slept through my connecting stop. In theory this really shouldn't have been possible because it's the end of the line and someone should have poked me. Apparently not. I woke up just as the train was speeding away from the station to turn around and sit on a different platform.

I ended up missing my connection on top of things. Adding more insult to injury I guess. The train was running late because the train ahead of us broke down temporarily. At one of the stops (or near it) something hit the window I was leaning against. The good news is that the window didn’t break. I just had a minor headache from the mix - or I should say it didn't help the headache any that I already had. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. At least it will be Friday!

What is the Stupid Train Run?

Regular commuters will know it as we've all done it from time to time. Running late just enough that if you sprint, you'll catch that train, but wait... Those leather, hard-soled shoes are from cross-trainers. Suite pants are not suitable running attire either. Don't forget the briefcases and lunch bags waiting you down. So the result is this goofy looking run. Oh, and there are bunch of people watching you too. But like I said, it all happens to us at one time or another.
