Breakfast at home by myself: hash browns, scrambled eggs, a banana. Did dishes. Minor updates to Virtual Tour page. Left a message for Melissa. Heather from Dell had sent some suggestions on Chris's laptop. I checked them out and sent a report back as well as the links to the photos and video. More coding for a new news story for Susie, sent it to her for review. She got back to me with a few revisions, I made the story live. More revisions, posted. More revisions posted. Chatted with student JN about listservs. Lunch at desk by myself: leftover sesame chicken and steamed rice from Golden Rice Bowl. Coded a current students news story for student WH, sent it to her for review (but we're waiting on a logo from someone else). Susie dropped in to chat about Maria and Marylyn who will now be managing the BPS website. Susie and I discussed a new news story about SFGH. Adjusted Joel's mouse cable. Ena installed a new fax machine today. We want to spruce up the cable management in her area, so we identified a cable organizer we think might work well for her. I got my inbox down to 10 items today. We'll see how long that lasts. Patrick saw Memoirs of a Geisha by himself tonight. He's gotten upset and needed time to himself because he had heard that The Other Patrick Ryan has released his first novel with Random House, and it was discussed today on NPR. For those of you new to this issue (I can't recall if I've mentioned it before), there is another man named Patrick Ryan who is also a writer and also gay. The Other Patrick Ryan was born in Washington, D.C., grew up in Florida, and lives in New York City. My Patrick Ryan was born and raised in New Orleans and lives in San Francisco. They both even share the same middle initial! This will no doubt cause a great deal of confusion.
