Basic 4 for breakfast. Cleaned up dirt particles spewed out of the air circulation vent. Staff meeting: our first after our office move. Link checking. Chatted with Mike R about changing a wall phone from beige to black, a phone extension that was getting forwarded to us accidentally, plugs falling out of wall jacks because they don't click when you insert them, and a phone extension that wasn't behaving like it should. Got kitchen utensils that I had ordered for the office. Got an order from MotherNature.com—they messed up the shipping address in a big way, so I'm not sure I'll order from them again. Lunch at Beijing on Irving: cashew nut chicken lunch special. My fortune: Opportunity knocks only once. Be alert. Shopped for post-moving supplies: monitors, locks, power cords, network cables, cable management solutions. Chatted with Susie about home page changes (a new news story) and photos from Homecoming. Fixed the network printers problem. Put in Susie's home page new changes. Dinner at La Mediterranee with Patrick. I did the dinner special—pig brouchettes—with avgolemeno soup, Patrick did the dinner special with spinach soup and dessert sampler. One iced tea, one hot tea, one coffee. $37.70 before a $6 tip.
