Usual oatmeal breakfast. Added Rodney to the OSACA mailing list, announced it. Resolved "your account has been locked out" problems with the shared office laptop account by opening ADUC and unchecking the lockout checkbox. Listserv management. Handled a request from recent grad CP who learned that she will be staying at UCSF as a postdoc and doesn't know what should happen with her email account. I directed her to the page I wrote specifically for this situation. Requested a new-but-not-really-new listserv; it had been deleted probably from non-use. Management activities. Prepared my slides for tomorrow's presentation. Today is the first day of orientation. Laptop setup at orientation. Orientation: Introduction to the OSACA. Troubleshot low disk space problems with the white shared office laptop. Lunch: free box lunch left over from orientation, ate with Shirin H, Scott E, JWG, Eric D in the HSW lobby. Chatted with Cesar about a new computer configuration for Don K. Prepared my slides for tomorrow's presentation. To home. Patrick redecorated the living room and bedroom today. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftovers. Watched "Shindig" from Firefly disc 2 on Netflix DVD with Patrick.
