Cream of wheat with brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. 8:30 AM bus 66 didn't show up today. Computer backup and upgrade to SP2 for Chris. Anti-virus maintenance and SP2 upgrade for Mike. Lunch: pastrami and swiss sandwich, a banana, some tortilla chips, tabouli salad, water. Helped Cindy with a delivery. My office has been 83 degrees Fahrenheit today and yesterday. Every now and then the building air flow changes dramatically due to construction on various floors. Danny from the facilities team came and verified that my thermostat was working. He didn't seem to believe that I'd gotten cold air to come out of the vent over my desk, which he observed was covered up with a filter to keep bugs from falling on my desk. He left a message later on my voicemail saying he wasn't sure our part of the building is supposed to get air conditioning. Huh? (We've been getting it since we moved in.) Fixed a firewall problem which prevented others access to my printer. Met with Lori H about the entering class website. Worked with Heather K at ITS to unlock accounts on their web server which had gotten broken into over the summer and they only last week figured it out. Reset passwords, notified appropriate parties. Configured news and calendar items to disappear when the events had passed. Patrick went to Ha Jin's reading tonight at Modern Times. Dinner at home by myself: leftover chicken; portabello mushroom ravioli with tomato, garlic, and mushroom sauce; leftover biscuits; mini organic greens salad with Patrick's French vinaigrette. Watched Simpsons.
