Not a very nice view

Today I went to Chicago, or at least, I flew into Chicago O'Hare Airport and then set off in the opposite direction to the suburb of Schaumburg. Schaumburg is not a very nice place, it is full of outdoor shopping malls and business hotels and motorway intersections. However, my customer, US Cellular has an office here and I had a meeting with them.
To get to DCA (Reagan National Airport in DC) I booked the Super Shuttle, not that I can't claim a proper taxi, but because they are reliable and actually turn up on time. You can track your shuttle on-line until it reaches your door, on a map and know that you will get to the airport on time. Booking a taxi does not mean it shows up, and it is always a gamble to trek up to Wisconsin Avenue to just catch one.  This morning I checked as usual when I got up where my shuttle was and it turned out it was just around the corner (literally), which was a bit stressful as it was not supposed to pick me up for another 30 minutes. I quickly gathered my stuff and got ready, but it continued to hide around the corner. When it finally showed up (on time) I asked the driver about hiding around the corner and he was surprised i knew. He said he was early and did not want to stress me, which I guess was nice.
Meeting went well and we checked in to a different Hyatt (Regency) than normally, as the usual one was full. I must say I am NOT impressed by the view from my hotel window.
