Adventures of the drowsy train commuter

One of the consequences of having insomnia is that you fall asleep when you least expect it. Today, while commuting to the office by train, I closed my eyes in Fremont and when I opened them again I was in San José. I had missed my stop in Santa Clara and I thought I would be stranded in San José for hours or that I would have to bike 8 miles to the office. However, to my surprise there was a Caltrain train leaving to San Francisco in 3 minutes! Time enough to buy the tickets and jump inside right before it closed its doors. The ride from the Lawrence station is a bit shorter than from Great America, so in the end I only arrived to the office 20 minutes later than I usually do. As much as I despise public transport in the Bay Area, I have to admit that sometimes it exceeds my expectations!
