Eric and Greg completed prep work for migrating the QBC and grad programs websites from Acquia to Acquia. I learned today with help from ITS that my handsfree stopped working because of when I removed the UPS and didn't plug all the items back in. Chatted with Frances about printers and scanners. Thank you reception for Dean's Office staff at the RMB board room. It was my first time in RMB. The board room has a great view of Golden Gate Park, the Inner Sunset, and the tops of the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge. Joe G gave a little speech and asked everyone to introduce themselves. Paula and Peter sang "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." Snacks: seasoned cocktail shrimp, cow sliders, grilled vegetables, multicolored tortilla chips, cupcakes, Champagne, sparkling apple cider. I stayed until 5:44 PM to close the room. Rode Muni to the Castro. Dinner at Kitchen Story with Shawn P and Neil G. Neil is in town from Amsterdam for about a week. He surprised me with a small bag of Daelmans mini stroopwafels with bourbon vanilla—sweet! Just before leaving I encountered Rayson Y and nodded a hello. Afterwards we went to Hi Tops, my first time to this new gay sports bar in the Castro. Rode Muni home.
