Breakfast at home with Patrick: steel-cut oatmeal with fixins, lemon-honey tea for Patrick, chai for me. Rode Uber Pool to UCSF Laurel Heights. Sprint standup via Slack. Encountered problems with my computer monitor turning black for a few seconds and then coming on again. It happened two or three times before I was able to find a stopping point and restart the MacBook Pro which seemed to fix it. Continued work on the UFD Mailchimp build and education unit orgchart. Let James J borrow a USB-C charger and charging cable. Helped Levi find the DSLR. Initiated people data requests to new hires Danya M and Cynthia Z. Lunch at desk: leftovers from yesterday. Spent the rest of the day in UFD web build with Paula and not-working Eric. Errand: grocery store. Rode Uber Pool home. Ordered dinner for delivery via Grubhub. Dinner at home with Patrick: delivery from Perilla: fresh rolls with peanut sauce to share, chicken soup for Patrick, five-spice chicken soup for me. Met someone to give away cardboard boxes. Completed laundry that Patrick had begun earlier. Backed up my iPhone 6 Plus. Set up my new iPhone X with my new Speck case (Presidio Grip iPhone X Cases - Cathedral Grey/Smoke Grey: 1062966922). I bought a new iPhone 8 for Patrick and a new iPhone X for me through cousin Johnson. The process was pretty easy, ensuring that both phones were off then swapping nano sim cards. The new phone was restored from iTunes backup. I had some trouble finding the password for the iTunes backup but did indeed find it. Encountered an error "Failed to commit stashbag" while attempting to update iOS on a new iPhone X from 11.2.1 to 11.2.6 via iTunes 12.7.3.46, successfully worked around it by initiating the installation from the iPhone X instead of from iTunes on my MacBook Pro.
