Usual oatmeal breakfast. Joel gave me a thank you card and gift for yesterday's Blackberry assistance. It included 2 movie tickets to Landmark Theatres—so sweet! As I suspected, my computer at work would not start properly this morning. I ran Dell diagnostics and all was well with the hardware. I tried Windows system recovery fixmbr and then fixboot followed by fixmbr but neither worked. I just wiped the drive and did a clean install after copying data over that I needed. In between this tshooting and formatting, I got bits of work done, too. Met with Eric, covering hours, timesheet and reporting, workspace setup, RSS feed checking, digital asset management, purchases, ergonomics, Outlook training, and ECP. Lunch with Joel and Patrick at Pasta Pomodoro. Joel had insalata di pollo with no dressing and lemon on the side. I had healthy fish with minestrone soup. Patrick had risotto verde with minestrone soup. Chatted with Terence at the Police Department about id card and door lock issues. Chatted briefly with Helen G and Nancy W. Dinner at home with Patrick: beef stew and vegetables over steamed rice. Dessert: chocolate chip cookies. Worked on Danny's website.
