Breakfast: a banana, eggs, sausage. Installed PharmAdMIT for Timmy, set him up with a password manager. Updated web calendars. Linkchecking. Verified that the admissions pages were automatically saying the right thing since our deadline for admissions was November 1. Lots of digital housekeeping. Joel and I got our flu shots today. The hardest part was finding the location for it. Afterwards on our way back to the office, we saw a wagon with three letter-sized sheets of paper taped to it saying FLU SHOTS --> but we didn't notice it at all on our way in. I suggested to Joel an inflated giant hypodermic needle lit from the inside instead but I don't know if anyone makes such a thing. Lunch: a banana from home, a large salad from the cafeteria. I had had a doctor appointment today but it got cancelled, so I decided to use the time to fortuitously shop my car around a few repair shops. I need the car for the weekend, so I knew I didn't want to leave it at a shop just yet. Just getting estimates for now. So far it would be between $2000 and $3000 if I were to pay for it myself, but both shops I spoke with today recommended I call my insurance company and talk to them. I am reluctant to file a claim because I suspect it will make my insurance rates go up. Since it's a hit-and-run claim, the insurance company has no guilty party from which to collect. One place said it shouldn't make my rates go up. Another wasn't sure when he found out it was hit-and-run. Home. Shopped online. Worked on graphics for Joel's secret blog. Figured out that Tennessee Orange seems to be Pantone Orange 021 U. Rain late tonight. Patrick spent the evening visiting with Aaron.
