Usual oatmeal breakfast. Set up and secured the new hi-fi stereo that the Class of 2007 gave to the office as a parting gift. Restored remote desktops .msc file from backup—I had accidentally overwritten it yesterday with a configuration I didn't intend. Responded to entering student SB who had a question about the computer requirements. Met with Cindy, Joel, Alyssa, and Scott about admissions communications. Added Jayson and Ricki as viewers to Google Analytics. Minor web update for Cindy. Listserv followup with Carol—she found some errors that no one else had spotted! HTML e-mail template work—started working on the revised OSACA template that will work fine in Outlook 2007 and older clients. Got a first draft done but didn't have time to test it yet. Slow computer troubleshooting with Joel. It seems that yesterday's Patch Tuesday has caused Joel's computer to respond very slowly when creating a new message in Outlook 2003. None of the usual settings fixes fixed it, but reverting to Monday's configuration did. Resume filtering. Started issuing rejections. Lunch today was swedish meatballs over brown rice with a dinner roll and Promise and a side bowl of fruit with cottage cheese from the cafeteria: $8.86. Danny's grand opening party for Refresh SF: sushi, roll-up sandwiches (I forgot what these are called), grands fours which tasted a lot like ding dongs, macaroon (?) cookies, chocolates, wine, juice, apple cider, beer. Phil drove me home. Work for Danny: logo package, services order form, take down party from website home page. Patrick and I are leaving for a 10-day vacation tomorrow morning, and I won't be updating the journal until we return. Don't freak out.
