Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted shaved coconut, pumpkin seeds, diced half banana; hot water. Rode Muni to UCSF Parnassus. Followup with Siteimprove about font size problems in Siteimprove Help. Handling announcement requests. Met with Angelie to discuss person pages and how best to include temporary employees in some of our important communications. Lunch with Suzan. We first attempted to find lunch at Moffitt Cafe, but they didn't have what either of us wanted, so we went instead to Panda Express. I got a side of mixed vegetables. Suzan got a meal that included beef and shrimp items. We ate in the unused room in our office. Town hall planning. CP Spring Research Seminar edits. Sahru K recently started as a project manager not specific to our team. Later Suzan and I met to discuss the NIH funding story and to begin reorganizing how we use Asana. Rode Muni home. Dinner at home with Patrick: mahi mahi burgers with French fries, both from frozen. Cocktails: bourbon orange crushes using an orange from Tim's yard via Suzan. I washed dishes. We watched the Oscars on Hulu Basic Plan. Jimmy Kimmel's opening monologue was absolutely fantastic. There were so many fun, funny, and wonderful moments and surprises including the streaker, the reunion, and so many speeches with people speaking from the heart. We watched until after Ryan Gosling's "I'm Just Ken" over-the-top, chef's-kiss-worthy performance. The technical production of the entire show was jaw-dropping. Patrick went to bed.
