Admissions pages updates for James. Staff meeting. Confluence work. Set up a laptop for Joel. We got our free flu shots. I think this is the first year they made it free to all faculty, students, and staff. Very nice. Lunch with Joel: takeout sandwiches from the cafeteria. Helped student LN set up Outlook on a laptop. More admissions pages updates. Began coding new Preview Session web pages for Joel. Met Danny, Phil, and Drew at 24th and Mission BART for Day of the Dead. Danny forgot to bring his jacket, so since I had my jacket and my Gap Kids yellow raincoat on top of that I let him borrow the raincoat. Ran into some pharmacy students at the parade. Lost PDD somewhere in the crowd. Home. Set up Patrick's new $15 Oregon Scientific alarm clock (RM313PA) which sets itself automatically and projects the time onto the ceiling. The last time I tried a clock which claimed to set itself through radio waves, it didn't set itself properly, but this one did in about 5 minutes. Nice. And we were worried that the projection would be the wrong way because it's not adjustable (flippable), and their website doesn't make this clear at all, but it is the way you'd expect: if the clock is facing the foot of the bed, you can lie in bed and see the time correctly on the ceiling. So far I like it. Late meal: Annie's shells and cheese.
