Pre-breakfast: a banana. Left home at 6:44 AM. On the way to the bus stop, I saw Muni bus 66 pass my stop 4 minutes early. I took Muni bus 48 to 19th Avenue, waited about 8 minutes, caught Muni bus 28 to Judah, waited about 10 minutes, caught Muni N-Judah to UCSF Parnassus, missed a UCSF grey shuttle by about 5 minutes, waited 15 minutes for the next one, arrived at Mission Bay at about 8:10 AM. Staff development day with OSACA and OEIS in Rock Hall 202. Breakfast: I had a cinnamon bun and apple juice. Cindy, Frances, and Shirin: Welcome and Warm-ups. Ellie Goldstein from Office of the Ombuds: Communicating in Difficult Situations. Lunch with the group at Mission Rock Resort (817 Terry Francois Blvd). Appetizers: calamari and shoestring fries. I had dungeness crab mac and cheese (which was really cavatappi and cheese, $18) and could not eat it all so I passed it around for tasting. Everyone loved this dish for its creamy, smooth sauce and herbed breadcrumbs. Others ordered chile-spiced fish tacos ($14), shrimp louie salad ($18), bacon cheeseburger ($13), king salmon with polenta ($24), fish and chips ($15). Frances K: The Changing Landscape of Education. Felicia Mercer and James Lyda from Student Health and Counseling: Student Wellbeing & Mental Health—what to look for, what's happening at UCSF, and how to help. Rode Muni T and L to home. Dinner at home with Patrick: veggie pizza from frozen, minestrone soup from the Whole Foods deli, hot water. Did more catching up on journaling. Folded laundry.
