Arrived in Southern California late last night just after 11 pm. Witnessed a lot of grumpiness at the airport. Taxi dispatcher was surly and had a phone to his ear the entire time so I was never sure when he was talking to me or to the person on the line. He kept mumbling that he has no taxis. Across the way, a driver for Supershuttle angrily unloaded some bags from his van. A guy, I guess the would-be passenger, shouted at the driver. The driver shouted back, something about not deserving to be talked at in a certain way. I thought you SoCal people were supposed to be chill?

I shared a taxi to the airport with a random stranger. The hotel kindly paid the fare in lieu of sending their shuttle (the driver had just retired for the night).

Even though my hotel is less than a mile from campus, I may not be able to walk there because of the freeway. It didn't look like there were sidewalks along the underpass of the freeway. Maybe I could just chance it and hurry through anyways. :P

The sneezing has subsided, only to be replaced now by massive congestion. Even on a heavy dose of Sudafed, I can just barely breathe through my nose.
