Usual oatmeal breakfast. Set up appointments with students needing help. Installed PharmAdMIT 2006 for Scott, but when we tried to use it it crashed with a type mismatch error and I don't know why. Archived school retreat originals. Loaded USB drives with software in prep for meetings with students. Listserv management: intern jobs. Let Chris borrow our shared laptop power adapter. Handed off the shared laptops to Scott/Joel. Listserv management. Followup with Susie about computer purchase for her. LGBT viz followups. Met with student JP: corrupted TCP/IP stack which I had never seen before in Windows XP. netsh fix did not work. Gave instructions for sfc, dirty reinstall, clean reinstall. Lunch in the work room with Joel, Alyssa, and Scott: salad from the cafeteria. Met with student MC about palm pilot synching. Helped Joel and Scott set up for their presentations. They were in S-18 and S-22. Lucky we still had the old laptop otherwise we would have had to borrow from IRTS or someone else. Fire alarm went off, so we all exited the building for about 20 or 30 minutes. Met with Eric 1-on-1. I introduced him to our website structure and one of our databases. He followed quickly—it was a good geek session. I introduced him to Visibone which he seemed to like very much. Dinner at Thai Chef with Chris and Nate. Watched The Incredible Shrinking Woman and Yentl at The Castro Theatre with Chris and Nate ($10 for 3 films; we skipped The Legend of Billie Jean—too tired). Before the films we saw trailers for The Main Event, Staying Alive, and other 1980s films which all make you say wow! and omg!. This was Chris and Nate's first (2) films at the Castro Theatre. I think they enjoyed it.
