Found a fortune cookie fortune in the pocket of the pants I put on today: You will soon receive an unusual gift. Rode my bike to UCSF Laurel Heights. Completed MyExpense paperwork for the UCCSC trip. Linkchecking, kiosk work. Helped Rick resolve a problem with PharmAdMIT. Responded to entering student LP regarding a question about Microsoft Office. Followup with Rodney about installing Acrobat XI Pro for the computers in the lab. More web edits and orgchart work for Susie. Followup with Shirin about webcam installation. Posted supp app workshop page live for Joel. Joel also had a request regarding how to merge data between two Excel spreadsheets, so I spent some time learning the VLOOKUP function and got what he needed done. Followup with Louise C about a kiosk submission. Followup with Sara about the Roy Lab website. Followup with Chris W about server access. Forgot to eat lunch. Snacked on garlic sunflower seed clusters in the late afternoon. Eric D and I rode Muni to one-week-old The Beer Hall (1 Polk Street) for Simon S's going away. He's leaving the neighboring clinical compliance unit and asked us to join. I met Jean, Peggy, and John from his unit as well as the bar owners Drew and Jennifer who were friends of Simon. The bar was packed and included many patrons who worked at nearby Twitter (1355 Market Street). We ate delicious, $5 grilled cheese sandwiches from the melt.com food truck parked outside (one of The Mission, two of The Classic with tomato). I had a beer from Stone Brewing Company called Cali-Belgique IPA which I liked. Beers here seemed to be atypical and with unusual or interesting flavors. The restroom has some rather fancy features that I won't spoil. If you visit, check it out. Rode Muni home. Created playlists of songs in my collection related to Chicago and New York or New York City. Did some catching up on journaling. Late meal: cream of mushroom sauce over leftover steamed white rice. Watched Star Trek: Voyager "Timeless" on Netflix instant watch. To bed late.
