Woke up early, got in some weight training. Usual oatmeal breakfast. When I arrived at work, I had to wait for my office to be freed up. Some men were doing construction in the ceiling in conjunction with construction on the floor above us. Worked through e-mails. Staff meeting. Lunch: Panda Express. A while ago I had overheard one student express disapproval over the nutrition value of Panda Express, so today I looked it up on their website. It wasn't as awful as I had suspected, though orange chicken—a popular favorite—is among the least healthy of all their items. If you don't have it every day, I don't see a problem. Helped a faculty member resolve the problem I found last week ("The security log on this system is full") on the instructor's computer in the computer lab. I'm providing backup for Rodney who is out on vacation. Also checked on reports that two printers were not working. One was okay, the other had a weird message in its display: "CHANGE MP FEEDER B5" which was not found on the web. I canceled the job, and the printer spit out two successfully printed pages, and then went ready again—problem solved (?). I ran test prints to both printers, and both were fine. Spent most of the day working on orientation presentation materials, then sent them to Chris and Cindy for review. Chatted with Chris R. about the Apple offer. Still not live yet, but she had been on vacation and is trying to make heads roll to fix the last remaining problem upon which I'm waiting. Dinner at home with Patrick: grilled chicken over rigatoni in marinara sauce, Italian pillow bread and butter. Watched Rick Steves Dublin. Weight training: crunch, leg lift, barbell fly, barbell bench press. Yogurt.
