Usual oatmeal breakfast. Met with Susie. We talked about the forthcoming interview process, web pages for other dean's office staff, and PowerPoint templates. Followup with student KB about computer security. Helped student HW set up voting for student of the year. Began creating a written exam for our interview process. Power outage this afternoon takes down our web server. Julie is keeping an eye on it. Helped Alyssa with a problem with the fax machine. The display said Printing but nothing was happening. I fixed it by unplugging it for a few seconds and then replugging it back in. Resume filtering. Home. Worked on Danny's website. Dinner at home with Patrick, Quyen, Dave, Phil, Drew, and Danny. Patrick made an Italian hearts of romaine salad with marinated mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, organic croutons, with a roasted garlic dressing topped with 4 Italian shredded cheeses. Garlic bread. The entree was rigatoni with stewed chicken breast, garlic, and mushrooms marinara sauce. For dessert, the guests brought a delicious tiramisu-inspired cake from Whole Foods. Afterwards we played Cranium, which was fun—my first time playing. The game was really hard to figure out; it would have been a lot funner to just pick teams and then take turns randomly picking cards.
