Set up email filters for Michael so that the interview reply responses automatically go into categorized mailboxes. Today I worked on the student database, resolving the non-updateable recordset problems I encountered earlier when I included calculated fields in my main query. I plan to separate the calculated fields into one or more separate queries and then use subforms to pull the data into the main form. Today was the holiday party for the School of Pharmacy. Like last year, it was held at the Faculty House at the corner of 5th and Parnassus. They took the tropical island theme from the Holiday Luncheon a month or two ago and recycled it for the holiday party. That was rather disappointing, but the food made up for it. There was so much of it! Steamed dim sum, a selection of Indian-styled dishes, fresh fruit, cole slaw, large prawn appetizers, Chinese roasted duck in buns, and lots of cookies and chocolates for dessert. Dinner at home with Patrick: pork chops, new potatoes, mushroom heads in rosemary and chopped garlic. Very tired, I went to bed early while Patrick stayed up to study. His Mandarin final exam is tomorrow. Today he went to Jumpin Java to work but it was too crowded, so he worked at Sweet Inspirations instead.
