Breakfast at home: organic oatmeal with fresh, diced fuji apple, soy milk. Rode my bike to work. Linkchecking, Flickr work, kiosk work. More InDesign work on a secret project for Susie. WCWG lunch meeting. Reported a problem with fruit flies in our office to Facilities. Style reference work: mailing addresses, followup with Rick V in Mail Services. Ordered an iPad 2 for Joel through BearBuy—my first BearBuy purchase. I found the BearBuy buying process difficult but not impossible. At one point there was a special code that I didn't know but Lisa knew the answer and shortly thereafter I figured out how in the interface I could perform a search to find it. It is probably better than what we had before but better more for perhaps the accounting people rather than me. It's not designed from a user's perspective at all. Midafternoon snack: footlong Subway veggie delight sandwich. Handled long-waiting legal name changes for several students. Rode my bike home. Dinner at home with Patrick: TJ's cauliflower gratin, grilled tuna (from previously frozen) with garlic, green onions, lemon, spices; bread and butter; hot gingerbread spice tisane with sugar.
