I dreamt last night I was catching a regional bus. I was on a long and skinny strip of land where I knew there were about 5 bus stops along it. I was at one of the stops near the bottom. Either my dad or my brother was with me—I can't remember exactly. In a different dream, I was in a professional kitchen trying to make a timer count down 10 minutes, but the user interface was so bad that I couldn't figure out how to make it work. It took about 5 or 6 tries, and I was in the way of a kitchen worker trying to do other things. In another dream, I was waiting for a restroom and when one became available a woman tried to sneak in to one of the two restrooms where I had been waiting. I said some words to her, and she slunk to the end of the line guiltily. I went inside the restroom and changed my shirt. Oatmeal, banana, pumpkin pie spice, brown sugar for breakfast. Helped a student resolve problems with Windows on her laptop. Revised e-mail pages for the forthcoming e-mail migration. Updated Sophos on the old server. Discovered an update problem for all Sophos clients. Fixed the update problem on all workstations. More e-mail pages editing. Helped James resolve a network connectivity problem. Updated the off-campus students section for Cindy. Reviewed e-mail naming issues. Dinner at work: leftover fried chicken and mashed potatoes. Home. Vacuumed the bed. Made the bed, put away clothes. Dishes. Made a risotto for tomorrow's potluck: arborio rice, crimini mushrooms, zucchini, onion, garlic, basil, vegetable broth, mature Welsh cheddar. I did all the prep work except for the cheese; Patrick finished the job.
