I finally got around to trying on a pair of dress socks that I bought at Nordstrom months ago. Like the Thorlos I bought on the same day, these were $12 for one pair. The size on it says "shoe size 5.5-7.5" but I took a gamble and it paid off—they fit perfectly. I wear shoe size 8.5. Yesterday our landlord helped us remove a bunch of junk from our back yard that previous tenants had left behind. In San Francisco, you can schedule a pickup for large items with the garbage company and they come and take it away. Usual oatmeal breakfast. Telecommute day except I had a meeting on campus at 2:00. Worked on student computing committee things. Lunch: leftovers. Left for the meeting. Dan canceled 15 minutes before the meeting started, so I notified Susie (who was at the gas station) and then went to meet Julie and Thom. It was my first time seeing Thom again after his interview awhile back—he started at UCSF 2 days ago and seems to be enjoying it very much. I showed them my office and the IRC and then we chatted in the student lounge for about an hour. More student computing committee work. Dinner at home with Patrick: cow stir-fry with mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions; steamed rice. Weight training: lateral raise, dumbbell shrug, tricep kickback, hammer curl. Late meal: leftovers.
