Morning person? Oh please....

Guess what? I have been waking up at 6.30am every morning for the past 3 weeks!! Not by choice, really. Staying in San Jose, and getting assigned to a client in San Francisco, about 55 miles away (that's about 80km). Dragging myself from bed every morning is not fun... those who know me well enough knows that I am a late, late, late person.... (I can sleep at about 2-3am, and wake up at 3pm....built into my body system since uni days...)

Been driving up daily, which is a 1-hour drive up, and then an hour back home in the evening. It can be a pretty nice drive in the morning, going past lakes and hills beside Highway 280, but very dark at night. Oh, it is getting dark by 5pm now, being autumn now. And we are on daylight savings time now.

So, I was thinking, maybe public transport is the way to go. At least I get to sleep on the train, right? And save some miles on my spiffy Beemer. So, I braced myself last night to take the Caltrain, which leaves the nearest station to my home at 7.13am! So, I wake up earlier than usual, left my apartment earlier than usual, and guess what?!? Missed the darn train by 3 mins. And the next one arrives an hour later!! Darn, wake up earlier, and yet still have to drive up to SF... not a good start to my day.... *Sigh* will try again tomorrow, and wake up even earlier....

nope.... gave up on it. I preferred to wake up later, and drive up on my own car.
