Bagel and cream cheese for breakfast. Link checking. Helped a student recover an unopenable Word file by running ScanDisk on her USB drive. Mike R stopped by about the wireless installation. Updated the computer security guide. Helped student Amy H remove and reinstall Windows Media Player which had gotten corrupted due to viruses. Updated listservs for Chris and Joel. Lunch with Joel at Nan King Road Bistro. I lost my UC ID and Muni pass today and spent about half an hour in that what-did-I-do? feeling but a woman named Sandy from UCSF Student Financial Services found it on the sidewalk and called me. I picked it up right away from her office. Problem solved. Whew! Met with James to review admissions changes. Talked with Tina. Patrick's mom left a message on the machine but I got home too late to call her back. I'll call in the morning. Received my $200 worth of medical supplies to treat my patellofemoral pain. Why did I spend another $200 for the same "solution" as last year when it didn't work? Coz I'm a victim of the American health care industry! Talked late on the phone with Tina. Late dinner at home: slow cooked vegetable beef soup from a can. I love the irony of having slow cooked soup ready in 5 minutes. Stayed up very late writing a long e-mail to Patrick. Discovered that the campus e-mail server was down for maintenance from 10 to midnight tonight but services were not restored at midnight as expected. Reported the problem by phone. I updated our current students news to indicate the problem.
