Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted shaved coconut, pumpkin seeds, blueberries; hot water. Rode Muni to UCSF Parnassus. First day at work after 9 days away on vacation. I had forgotten my ID badge, so I visited the OSACA and they were kind enough to let me hotel in Robyn's office. Standup with Suzan. Lots of catching up on email: followup with Lisa D about Staffbase and the Spring Research Seminar announcement, followup with La'Trece about orgcharts, followup with Joanna H about the pharmacy deans list, followup with Nicki M about Versa: let's not participate for now, followup with Microsoft and Snehashis S about incorrect member counts in Teams, followup with Courtney S about digital displays on MSB9, followup with Sahru K about town hall, forwarded a request to CAOs, updated a question in the reply to an interview invitation to be required for Joel, forwarded job opportunities to friends, created a new (budget?) CP orgchart for Karen H, met with Lisa D about the peer review announcement, granted Sahru access to edit the Benet event website. Worked with Suzan to publish a news story. I helped Joel open a restored PST file then attempt to repair it. The repair failed. Rode Muni home. On the commute home, I began reading Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin, dead tree edition. Dinner at home with Patrick: mushroom tacos with avocado and sliced radishes, water. We watched The Brothers Sun s1:e5 on Netflix. As Patrick prepared for bed, I noticed that my laptop was running out of disk space because lots of different applications displayed alerts: unable to read project, Mail cannot save information about your mailboxes because there isn't enough space in your home folder, etc. OneDrive is dumb enough to not warn you when you are about to use 100% of your disk space to make files available offline. I resolved this by pausing sync, changing settings to make many more things offline, restarting the Mac, then restarting OneDrive. Back to normal now. I washed dishes. Late snack: leftover corn tortilla that didn't get used at dinner, unsalted cashews, banana chips, water. Began forming draft vacation journal entries.
