Rode Muni to work. Ate a banana while walking from 9th and Judah. Breakfast to go from Carmelina's: breakfast burrito. Linkchecking, Flickr work, kiosk work. Helped student JW with a question about antivirus software. Websteering: asked the group if they wanted to continue the lunches. Lots of QBC content and styling work. Sent Tran a request to set up Joel with dual monitors. Chatted briefly with Ami J about the ucsf911 Twitter account I had set up a long time ago. Lunch at Masala Dosa with Eric and Matt S. I had requested my dish to be made mild. It came out too spicy for me but I ate it anyway. Eric and I stopped in to say hi to Joe and Sue in the dean's office. Followup with Tran about Joel's dual monitor setup (possible fuzziness concern). Updated a broken link for APhA-ASP. Helped student CB with a question about email setup. Wore my colored contact lenses (or contact lenses of color if you're certain people) for the first time today. I guess it will take some time to adjust to them. The "true hazel" color I selected meets my intent for subtlety; the difference is most obvious in a certain bright light. Every time I blink there's a bit of haziness (not hazelness) for less than a second before my vision clears again. They also seem thinner, but not as thin as the samples I had tried. Once today one of my lenses folded in half while in my eye, and I needed to emergency-reset it. Rode Muni to Duboce Park, walked to Q Bar where I met with Will and met his friend Ace. They've been friends for 15 years. We had a round of bay breezes, and then their friend Cesar joined us for another round. We walked back to Walgreens at Market and 15th for Ace to pick up a prescription and for Will to visit the restroom at his work, then ate dinner at Criolla outside under a heat lamp which made it tolerably comfortable against the cold night. Garlic shrimp with rice and beans, hot water for me; hush puppies, Mexican Diet Coke (aka Coke Light) for Ace; Cubano sandwich, hot water for Will; 3-piece chicken and waffles for Cesar. Afterwards Will wasn't feeling well, so I drove him back to my place.
