This morning Patrick woke me up and told me that he just found out he has been nominated by the world renowned Joyce Carol Oates for the National Pushcart Prize! He'll find out if he is selected in May. Breakfast: bagel with cream cheese. Joel made yellow cake cupcakes with pink frosting and multicolored sprinkles! James brought in oatmeal cookies! Yum! Checked on our monitors order with Hubert—they're expected to arrive by the end of the week. Checked on our computer arms installation with Emma—no answer yet. Answered questions for Chris about a virus attached to a file that he is unable to delete. Changes for James to the transcripts page, made them live. Changed front page news stories for Susie after her approval. Late lunch with Ena and Joel at Cybelle's Front Room: Ena had a bacon burger with garlic potato wedges, Joel had a mushroom-pepperoni monster slice with a side of small garden salad, I had a mushroom-pepperoni monster slice. Waters all around. Server was Niki, who Joel persuaded to change the plasma TV channel at his whim. Licensing and Examinations changes for Cindy. Home. Upon restarting after hibernation, computer #1 had the problem described in Q294427: showed two options: "Continue with system restart and "Delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu"—Choosing Delete restoration data resolved the problem.
