Usual oatmeal breakfast. Voicemail help for Alyssa. Submitted the request for Carol's e-mail account. Hardware inventory. Student database work. Training prep. Created and distributed new phone number cheat sheets. Updated the staff web page. Listserv maintenance. Firefox and Outlook training. Today the dean of the school took the dean's office staff out to lunch at Ton Kiang. I have been to Ton Kiang many times but I had never had the pine nut salad which I liked very much. There were 32 people, and MaryAnne asked us to introduce ourselves one by one which was helpful for me because I had never met some of these people before. Food arrived continually. Potstickers, rice noodles, lots of dumplings, salt and pepper shrimp, crab claws, egg rolls, snow pea shoots, chow mein with string beans, mixed vegetables with tofu, almond jello, mango jello, sugar doughnuts. Chatted briefly with former student FS about assigning drive letters. Dinner at home by myself: leftovers from last night.
