Worked on Michael's computer—the permissions changes I made yesterday in response to a recent security bulletin messed up his computer. I restored from a backup, but it took all morning to fix. Oy! Lunch at the cafeteria: grilled chicken burger and fries for about US$5.00. It was awful because I had to stand and wait for it, the chef gave inaccurate directions to the people in line, the burger was tiny, the fries were cold, the dining room was crowded so I decided to take it to go instead, and by the time I got back to my desk to eat it was all cold. I vowed not to return. Worked on the student database. No food in the fridge for dinner, so we went to West Portal and ate at Sabella's, an Italian restaurant. We started with garlic bread. I had penne with zucchini, mushrooms, and chicken; water to drink. Patrick had grilled salmon with french fries; an Italian beer. Too full for dessert. The bill after a US$4.00 tip was $39.14. I worked on Domenica's website—yucky CSS problems. "Grrr!" to all browser makers! A rain storm settled in tonight after Patrick had gone to bed.
