Web team meeting with Susie and Eric D. We went over our hour meeting time by another hour! Helped student JE with password change. Helped student HY with Outlook 2007 configuration. Web edits: health insurance waiver, August entering students update. InDesign work: cardkey reader sign. Followup with (the other) Frank F and TBS about cardkey installation. Requested a key to an office down the hall. Websteering lunch coordination. Very late lunch by myself at Bistro 9. It was the first time I ate on the back patio, and I found it surprisingly charming because of all the flowers and greenery. If only nearby Park Chow or Pasta Pomodoro could be as lush. Service by Talia was mostly very good—just a little inattentive near the end, and no one checked after my first bite to see if everything was okay (which it was). Burger and fries were very delicious and perfectly presented. Tea was served loose in a pot with a strainer for the cup, which made the 2nd cup undrinkably bitter. The first cup was delicious, though. My $4 pot of Moroccan was also served with freshly chopped mint—perfect, but again it's only worth the first cup for a single diner. Back to work. Secret work. Flickr photostreams review. Scheduling. Home. Installed a small fluorescent light bulb over the stove. Dinner at home with Patrick: naan and yellow chicken chicken. Watched Who Killed the Electric Car? on Netflix DVD with Patrick.
