Cardio warmup: 20 minutes. Usual oatmeal breakfast. To work. Investigated details about the clin pharm website being intermittently down for the past month or so. (Not our responsibility.) Early lunch at a Hunan restaurant on Divisadero Street: mushroom beef (cow) lunch special. I don't remember the name of the place, but the portions are larger than what I remember getting at nearby Eliza's, service was pleasant and efficient. On the television was CNBC—they have way too much going on on their news screens: multiple ticker tapes and live stock numbers and text boxes. (What happened to MSNBC? I have not watched TV for such a long time.) My fortunes: You will have many friends when you need them. Avoid unchallenging occupations—they will waste your great talents. You will soon have the opportunity to improve your finances. Doctor appointment. I had about an hour to kill waiting at Laurel Heights, and I brought the office laptop along so that I could possibly be productive, but I knew that getting connected to wireless at Laurel Heights was probably going to be a problem. The 2nd floor courtyard was cool and inviting, but I know my ID card doesn't let me back in, and I didn't even know if there was wireless in that area. I sat outside in the main entrance near the fountain but there was no wireless to which I could connect. An hour wasted. 1-on-1 meeting with Susie. Web team meeting. Showed Eric D how to submit a ticket to OAAIS for DNS changes, talked about "digital signatures." Linkchecking. Dinner at home with Patrick: oven-baked lemon chicken, steamed broccoli, mango couscous. Installed BlunderDelay 0.5.2 for Thunderbird by Andrew C. Brown.
