missed the train

back-logged blogging is addictive...

i was sitting on the train this morning waiting for it to pull off and when it did i suddenly felt like i had been left behind...weird. maybe it was because i was half-asleep...slept-in too much over the 3 day weekend and then couldnt fall asleep at a normal time last night.

i really did miss the train last wednesday though. it was my first day back to work after winter break but the train line was still on vacation. the night before i didnt get home until about 10:30 because of the infrequent, irregular train holiday schedule, and while waiting over an hour for the connecting train i made a mental note to catch the 8:03 or 7:33 train the next morning so i wouldnt be late for work. turns out there was no 8:03 train or at least the 8:03 train was departing from my destination (omika) going to ayukawa, not leaving from ayukawa (doh!). the next train didnt come until 20 minutes later so i missed all my buses going to hitachi research from omika and instead arrived to work in a taxi. a short, expensive ride but i hate being late....if there is such a thing i have `must-be-one-of-the-first-to-arrive` OCD (excluding social functions of course).
