Joe's Os with sliced banana. I brought 2 orchid plants to work today. Our inlaw apartment in the Sunset district of San Francisco doesn't get very much light. These 2 plants haven't bloomed in maybe 2 years, so I decided something needed to be done. Although we haven't gotten flowers from these plants, we have gotten baby orchid plants, and those babies are both flowering or close to flowering at the office. The window in the office gets a lot of light and warmth, so as long as we water appropriately it should be a very good environment for them. Student computing committee meeting. Did special backup runs of Chris's computers. Joel was at an Excel class at LearnIt! today. E-mail migration work: worked out more details with Mark B, prepared preferred name collection lists and spreadsheets for February 14. Helped Melissa set up the laptop for a presentation. Lunch: fish and chips, $4. Retrieved a document from backup tape for myself. Sent out Firefox Tip #008 to staff. [friendly woman bus driver] Drugs at Walgreen's. Groceries at Safeway. Dinner at home with Patrick: Milena's Hawaiian Style Pizza (good flavors but the crust was not as promised ["extra lightness and pockets to hold the sauce"], and we don't believe the made-up story on the back of the box about Milena.) Watched DVD extras for The Gold Rush—worthwhile and quick, but why did they interview that French-speaking director? Watched a Simpsons episode: The Great Money Caper. My favorite parts were Michael Jackson's scenes.
