I dreamt last night that a Space Shuttle crashed into a home in which I was occupied. It wasn't my current home. I was looking almost directly at it when it happened, so from my perspective it was coming almost straight toward me. When the nose hit the sliding glass door of the home through which I was seeing its approach, it behaved and made a sound like a small bird hitting the glass, and it bounced back some distance. There was no damage to the building. I ran outside not believing what I saw, but I indeed saw a Space Shuttle in the street. It seemed huge. Shortly thereafter I realized it—or possibly some other very large vehicle (I can't recall exactly now)—was still moving—directly toward me. I felt as though I was in danger and started running, and it continued to follow. Looking over my shoulder I realized it was catching up. That's when I woke up. Breakfast at home: lowfat plain yogurt with honey maple almond granola and raisins. Writing this entry several days later and can't remember how I got to work. Small web edit for Susie to the Burlingame story. Diana K announced she was leaving the school so I sent her a thank you message. Recreated the student awards program cover in InDesign for Cindy and Shirin. 1-on-1 with Rodney. Conference call with C3: design work plan. Chatted with Ami J about Twitter, emergency, web pages, and links. Sent Kathleen C an introduction to Michael W at Michael's request. Sent Cindy our first wireframes and sitemaps. Followup with Trustwave SSL cert renewal: since ITS started offering free wildcard certs, we no longer need to renew our SSL cert—nice! Forwarded an image request from Conan to Susie and Eric. Calendar management. Resolved a problem for Shirin in which people attending PID were somehow finding our old authorize.net payment link and thinking they paid and registered when they in actuality had not. I deleted our simple checkout configurations and also deleted old copies of the PID folders that existed because of longstanding change requests that were open for preview. Followup with Sean S and Bill M about whether it's okay to announce 802.11n wireless in our building to our students. Followup with Robbie K about ensuring that I receive FM announcements for our building. Sent Cindy James F's voicemail password. Followup with Paula J about setting her up to send html email. Followup with Shirin about change requests to the post-bacc page. Found info about bike registration at UCSF, will apply later. Writing this entry several days later and can't remember how I got home. Nap. Drove to the Castro. Met Will outside of Badlands. Toad Hall. Escape from New York Pizza. Boy Bar at The Cafe. Met Edgar (24 Hour Pleasanton, Cafe Flore). Stopped at Walgreen's for toothpaste. Will walked to my car and I gave him gifts from Hawaii. I drove him to his car. Home. Late meal: leftover Paxti's pizza.
