Just what I was hoping for

There definitely has been a cold or flu bug going around. I started feeling sick last Thursday night and was feeling full symptoms on Friday (stayed at home). I had hoped for the weekend to recover completely but a busy schedule on both Saturday and Sunday made that nearly impossible.

So, going to work today, I felt better, stronger, but still slowed and dulled by some lingering effects of the cold. I really did not want to go to work but there is just too much going on that I cannot let things sit one more day.

While feeling miserable waiting for the BART train on the platform, I was pleased to see that the train is perfectly on time. As the train arrived, I was very relieved and happy to find an empty seat to rest of aching body on!!!! Wow, can this be? Something I wished for on BART actually happened before my eyes. I can't even tell you how ecstatic I was to have a seat throughout the ride.

so you got a seat today. congrats. this must also mean that there wasnt a single person who was born less than a minute before you who had to stand all the way to work because you would have surely stood for an elder.

oh no, i forget, you only complain about OTHER people who don't stand for elders.

Thanks for your continuous effort to point out that I am a horrible person and a hypocrite. It's not hard to know when you write because you write with such blunt sarcasm and criticism.

Thanks for taking the time to write. And just for your information, I still would have stood up for a senior citizen or a very pregnant woman.

By "elders" or "the elderly", I hope you do know that the rest of us refer to them as senior citizens.

to the first anonymous poster - if you don't like reading the blog, don't read it. go somewhere else - just because you are angry at the world and unhappy with who you, are don't take it out on bartmusings.

anonymous #1: for someone who harps on courtesy, you have a lot to learn about it.

bartmusings: "elder" is not a pejorative term. Ever heard of "church elders?"

The past few days, I have been getting this tickle in my throat on the train that has caused me to keep coughing. I'm not sick at all, but I keep hacking like it, and I see the looks from the people around me on the train, and the people next to me turning away. It's almost as embarrassing to be thought sick as to be sick on the train...

To anonymous #1, I don't know how old you are but you talked like a 10 year old; not a normal 10 year old but a stupid one.
How the hell do you know the trian was or was not crowded that day and how can you tell who is the older one if two persons were born a minute apart? I don't know whether you are a young punk or an older punk. But judging from what you said you must have your brain up in your bottom.
