Ignored dirt particles spewed out of the air circulation vent. Download speed tests for testing our poor network connection. Updated the admissions special notice for James. New home page news story for Susie. Link checking. Moved Debrah's computer from its original position to the corner because of glare problems. Work on Chris's old laptop: virus removal, removed Sophos, installed McAfee, did Windows and Office updates, did a complete backup. Lunch from the cafeteria: salisbury steak, brown rice, mixed vegetables—mostly unsatisfying. Work on Chris's new laptop: removed Sophos, installed McAfee, did Windows and Office updates. Set his firewall to block rpcnet.exe and disabled the corresponding service in services.msc. Dinner at home with Patrick: chicken and shrimp chow mein. Listened to earplug links: DJ D-Reel on massiveselector.com (WORD 5 is fun(ky)). Opened birthday cards I got in the mail. (Thanks, Chris, Nate, and Mikey!) Got a birthday party invitation from Jeremy. The post office's vacation service worked pretty well, I guess. Blocked out dates for vacation. Caught up on e-mail. Made plans for the weekend (secret for now).
