Pre-breakfast at home: one apple. Rode Muni to UCSF Parnassus. Mary Anne's computer: began El Capitan download and installation. Sprint standup by telephone. Errand: got quarters for laundry from the bank. Office celebration: I brought a chocolate-cinnamon bundt cake with vanilla creme frosting. Mary Anne's computer: began El Capitan download and installation didn't seem to work, so I started it again. An hour or two later I realized that the first download did work but the window for the installation was hidden behind the App Store window, so I canceled the 2nd new installation window and then continued with the first one. Watched a recorded Smartsheets training session. Began gathering image dimensions specifications for the identity redesign for Susie and Robin. Mary Anne's computer: El Capitan download and installation succeeded. SEP installation succeeded. DDPE installation succeeded, but following the restart it was stuck on "Macintosh HD: Preparing volume for encryption" which after much frustrating troubleshooting I later resolved by restarting with Cmd+R then running Disk Utility to resolve errors on the volume. Followup with Lawrence L about a lab website for Giacomini. Reported to ITFS a problem with Megan's computer in which Windows updates do not install. Late lunch at Leaf and Ladle: roast beef and white cheddar on baguette, demi. The bread was a little too chewy and there was way too much dijon, but otherwise it was tasty and a good value at $4.75. There wasn't as much meat as I would have put on myself, but what was there seemed high quality. Rode Muni home. Dinner at home with Patrick: Martha Stewart's tofu and broccoli stir fry with steamed white rice, water. Dessert: Holy Gelato cinnamon gelato with chocolate-cinnamon bundt cake with vanilla creme frosting. Watched Superstore Season 1, Episodes 7 and 8 (Color Wars and Wedding Day Sale) on Hulu with Patrick. Mended a blue long-sleeve sweater using the sewing machine.
