Breakfast at home: egg and cheese on english muffin from frozen. Tried calling in to the standup but there was no answer. Filed pcard paperwork. Troubleshot then purchased a new UPS for Lucia. Calendar management. Lots of ExamSoft SofTest issue followup with students. Sent a notice to students about the required UC Cyber Security Awareness Training and deadline. Followup with Robert H about my open phone issue. Posted job postings for Peter L on BTS. Followup with IT about an Active Directory request. Followup with student EY about a new website for a student organization. Microsites work: followup with Jacobson subsites. Notified OSACA and Rebecca about options for power and usb at desk level. Scheduled time to meet with Cindy about her new iPad. Handled a few requests from walk-in students. Resent listserv messages that did not send successfully. Followup with George M with my request for an API to course information. Chatted with Lisa about food and fitness. No lunch, but I snacked on Garrett caramel popcorn which was extraordinarily crispy. Dinner at home with Patrick: rosemary ham and cheddar sandwich, leftovers from his lunch at Crepevine with Sam. Watched on the web a 60 Minutes episode of Anderson Cooper interviewing Joey Alexander. Played part of The Room 2 on my iPad Pro with Patrick. Resolved some minor hyphenation issues with Tina's new website. Today I brought home holiday items that I wasn't able to bring home until now because I was sick for three days before the break: a Christmas card from Lucia, and gifts from Cindy: a Hershey's chocolate Santa, a cheery holiday bell, and a marble and wood cheese cutting board and a set of beverage napkins decorated with an illustration of wine bottles—quite a fine gift!
