Usual oatmeal breakfast. To work. Laptop maintenance for student JS: concluded that it has hardware problems. Still under warranty, contact Dell for support and service. Chatted with Joel about change of course schedule web pages that must go live asap. 76 items in my inbox, feeling stressed. SCWG meeting. Lots of calendar management. Lots of small web edits: removed the course waiver for a course, current students news: added amount of proceeds for Red Dress Fashion Show, pointed preview session confirmations to Shirin for a few weeks, removed a university from the approved course list list, confirmed linkchecking set up for BTS. Made live lots of admissions and entering students pages changes for JWG, notified staff. Followup with student CT about computer help. Diversity town hall with Sharon Y. Listserv management. Chatted with Susie about the BTS website. Calendar management. Wrote a transition heads up for BPS website owners and coders. Listserv management. Attempted to install the software JWG needed for a WebEx conference: "I installed something successfully, but I'm not sure if it was the right thing. WebEx offers no way for an admin to test that the installation was successful when your conference is not in progress. So it might work, it might not. :-(" Listserv management. Calendar management. Huge headache. Dinner at home with Patrick: thin-crust pepperoni pizza, creamy corn and lemongrass soup. Prepared a computer upgrade strategy for Patrick, who is overdue to replace a Dell Latitude 700m.
