Cable management for James. Helped Jessica Huang with problems receiving mail in Outlook. She can send mail no problem. Gave her suggestions: Uninstall then reinstall Outlook. Try installing Eudora to isolate whether the problem is Outlook or not. Shopped for trash cans. Showed Patrick how to use PayPal to pay his credit card. Lunch with Kathy Pang and Patrick. We asked Kathy to lunch to hear her tips on traveling in China, which she did in 2000. She gave us tons of advice: the bathrooms are nasty, don't take the busses—trains are much better, people will put food on your plate for you a lot, it's often dusty and smoggy. Opened up the new computer for the student lounge, checked the mounting plate, drew holes on the wall for it. Placed an order for more wire loom. Scanned in the packing slip for the student lounge computer. Organized old computer junk that's been sitting in my office since we moved. Placed the work order request for facilities to help us install the computer arms and the computer in the student lounge. Researched syncing MySQL databases. Dinner at home with Patrick: shrimp chow mein. Archived instructions for the SpiderCatcher and my car cover. Took care of paperwork.
