Woke up very early. Morning run: 30 minutes. Weight training: push up, calf raise, plank. Worked on Corinna's website: prepped template index files for live, started on the send this page to a friend feature that she requested. Usual oatmeal breakfast. I forgot to mention on last Friday's entry that it was really frustrating finding parking in Jonathan and Adrian's neighborhood but once I stepped into their beautifully designed apartment I felt my whole self relax—just stepping into their place is like having a massage. I wore my new shoes to work today, but Joel didn't say a single word about them. He usually notices things like that in about 0.2 milliseconds. I noticed a few days ago that the Brother MFC-845cw all-in-one device does not seem to scan letter-sized documents like it claims. It only scans up to 8.267 × 10.767 inches. I have not yet contacted Brother support, but I am not optimistic because I tried everything I know and looked at every setting that might be related. In our ongoing saga to find an AC adapter for the Sony ICF-M410V portable radio, Patrick returned to Radio Shack today and they gave him a free adapter plug labeled "B" which fits the Radio Shack Universal 300 mA Power Adapter (273-1662), and now it works. I forgot to mention a couple of days ago that I received a Starbucks gift card from student JP thanking me for helping her fix her computer. Our students are so sweet! Esther stopped by to announce that she has found a permanent job at the Bureau of Jewish Education as an assistant to the director of financial aid. She starts in two weeks, and I am very happy for her. It sounds like it will be a great fit. Lunch with Geordie at Ten. Ten has changed their lunch box special, replacing a pair of gyoza with fruit salad. Back to the office. We celebrated Lucia's birthday. Steaven brought in a chocolate cake with cream cheese middle, I brought cherry cider and dixie peach cider and clementines, Cindy brought in cheeses and crackers, Joel brought a small gift and his own birthday card. Student computing committee work: reformatted recordings policy summary in Word format, also made a draft poster, posted them to the wiki. Checked in with Steve L at UCSF Police for recommendations on securing stuff. Met with Susie. Made live our first podcast: Lorie Rice's 2007 pharmacy law updates. Dinner at home with Patrick: pork chops, leftover rice pilaf, green beans. Shopped online. Weight training: plank, front raise, lateral raise. Late meal: soup.
