Breakfast: yogurt, banana, orange juice. Chatted with Kirk H about VPN installers and CD-ROMs and USB drives. Coded new news stories for Susie. Met with student CHK with VPN and switching from Outlook Express to Outlook. Helped Lucia troubleshoot an InDesign problem. Attempted to repair a flagpole for Joel but it didn't work—the pilot hole I drilled probably wasn't big enough, so the metal hook I attempted to screw in broke off (similar to the previous two attempts others had tried). Created a cover page template with our office logo for Stacey using Microsoft Word. Installed QuickTime 7, Firefox 1.5, and Google Safe Browsing for Firefox for 3 users. Reinstalled Spy Sweeper for 2 users. Coded new news stories for Susie. Reviewed resumes for Jeff M. Signed up for an Educause account. Converted a paper document to PDF for Cindy. Met with Susie to discuss various web issues. Helped Chris with a question about Outlook and workday hours. Patrick picked me up from work in the rental car. We ran an errand then came home. Dinner at home with Patrick: big tube pasta with spinach and peas in alfredo sauce, leftover pizza. An easily misinterpreted headline from today: "Search continues for Java victims." Another one: "Chinese director tops Cannes jury."
