Rode Muni to UCSF Parnassus. UCSF shuttle from Parnassus to Laurel Heights. Along the way I continued studying Spanish on Duolingo. Sprint standup. UFD meeting with the dean. Secret Santa with the OSACA: Joel opened a cinnamon-bun-scented candle in a small, square cast iron pan. Lucia opened an Urban Dictionary Game (example: Q: What is a question fart? A: a fart with an inflection that raises towards the end.) Cindy opened a gift basket with food snacks and treats. I stole the gift basket from Cindy. Cindy stole the Urban Dictionary Game from Lucia. Lucia opened a package of four doughnut Christmas ornaments. Rick opened Gama-Go's Kitty Egg Mold—a silicone mold for frying two eggs in the shape of a cat head (one yolk for each eye). Leslie stole the kitty egg mold from Rick. Rick stole the doughnut Christmas ornaments from Lucia. Lucia opened a set of five or six mixing bowls. Megan opened a chocolate passport sampler and dark chocolate covered espresso beans, both from Trader Joe's. Lisa stole the gift basket from me. I opened a Microplane herb mill.

UCSF shuttle from Parnassus to Laurel Heights. Drove with Paula, Eric, and James in Paula's Soul to the Presidio. Lunch with Plancomm at Sessions, met Susie and David there. David, Eric, and James each had fish and chips. Paula had chicken salad. Susie had express lunch (cumin chicken with vegetables soup and grilled leek tartine). I had a fried chicken sandwich—not spicy—with fries. We enjoyed lunch and dessert, then visited the Yoda statue and the LDA lobby. Not feeling well, Paula went home. The rest of us returned to Laurel Heights. UFD html email build. Reviewed a proposal for digital marketing from Carnegie Comms. UCSF shuttle from Laurel Heights to Parnassus. Rode Muni home. Not hungry, so no dinner. Watched nearly all of The Radio City Christmas Spectacular (2007) on Netflix instant watch with Patrick. Today it was announced to OSACA and Plancomm that I would be joining the Plancomm team in full as of January 1, 2017. All this time I have been officially reporting to Cindy and my role appeared on both units' organization charts as a position with dual reporting. As of January 1, I'll be reporting to Eric and my role will appear on only the Plancomm orgchart.
