Edited the writing process flowchart for Medicine Question of the Month and handed off the new draft to Susie. Dropped off a thank you note for Kathy Pang for Patrick. Printed copies of computer requirements for the ACC meeting tomorrow with Kevin Souza et al. Link checking. Susie took a rain check on today's meeting—we rescheduled for tomorrow. Spent most of the afternoon shopping for blinds or shades for the windows between my office and the workroom and James's office and the workroom. I'll double-check the measurements tomorrow, but I think they're identical: about 81" x 63". We tried to find honeycomb shades that do top-down / bottom-up but practically all of them have a maximum width of 72 inches. Additionally, practically all of them are colored on one side and white or gray on the other—we want color on both sides. Consequently, I think we'll have to forego the top-down bottom-up feature completely since I think it highly unlikely we'll find it in larger than 72 inches AND color on both sides. I ordered color samples of miniblinds and pleated shades from decoratetoday.com. If Smith and Noble did regular miniblinds I would have ordered from them, too, but they don't. Helped Cindy install a clock in the student lounge. Cindy approved the estimate for the computer arms installation, so I made photocopies and routed it accordingly. The trash cans for the kitchen arrived, so Ena and I set them up. Finished prepping changes to the admissions section for James, sent him an email with all the links for review. Chatted with Kevin Souza about tomorrow's ACC meeting. Brought home the empty box that the trash cans were shipped in—will probably use it to send our old HP ScanJet 5pse scanner to HP for recycling. Dinner at home with Patrick: nutty rice, baked chicken boobs. Watched the first half hour of The Mummy on ABC, recorded the rest. Did more computer backups. Chatted briefly with the Hawkster.
