Cream of wheat with brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice and fresh banana slices. The 8:08 AM bus didn't show up, so today was one of those awful mornings where it takes me over an hour to get to work. Patrick dropped off our absentee election ballots at the polling station down the street. Student computing committee meeting—Kraig, Mark, and Bruce were the special guests. Met with Kristina, Debrah, Ena, Melissa, and Joel about Rob Duca's presentation of the results of the staff survey. Fixed Ena's CD-ROM player which wouldn't appear in My Computer—the connection had come loose again. Superfast lunch because my clock hadn't been turned back yet, so I thought I had less time than I actually did: leftovers from last night, an orange, a banana. Met with Cindy. Helped Kristina briefly with Junk Mail features in Eudora. Put together purchase orders for a new server and for student photos from our outsource agency, handed them off to Cindy for signature. Extracted photos from the digicam for Cindy. Updated admissions sections of the website. Helped Chris briefly with a printer driver question. Helped student Makiko with laptop troubles. Snacked on some cookies. Spent an hour on the phone with Ivan from Sophos fixing Sophos and SAVAdmin. Ivan was very helpful. Dinner at home with Patrick: fancy salad, bread and butter. Watched some of the early election results. Watched Simpsons Treehouse of Horror 4. Chatted with Travis briefly.
