Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, cacao nibs, toasted shaved coconut, chopped and toasted almonds, diced half banana; hot water. Walked and rode Muni to UCSF Parnassus. Siteimprove linkchecking, spellchecking, and policy work. Helped Katherine clear junk and set up a workstation in the spare office. Distribution list management. Visited the 9th floor, took photos of the hallway walls, chatted with Kiyomi and Lucia, said hello briefly to Edgar. Resolved a digital letterhead problem and answered related questions for Kiyomi. Helped Suzan find files related to Matt M's recent work. Katherine treated Suzan and me to a get-to-know-you lunch at Ebisu: Family Affair roll, Rock and Roll roll, Cherry Blossom roll, seaweed salad, dynamite lobster (Langostino baked in house dynamite sauce), and chawan-mushi (savory steamed egg custard with shrimp, chicken, shiitake, spinach, and edamame). The dynamite lobster was too salty and rich for me, but I ate it anyway. The chawan-mushi was interesting and tasty; I had had nothing like it before. Afterwards walked back to work and visited the 9th floor and stopped in to meet James F and Kylie L in ICT. We also visited the 8th floor but could not determine where the vacant offices previously offered to us were. Returned to work. Helped Suzan resolve a problem with OneDrive again. Troubleshot a returned problem with proxied images in Campaign Monitor emails not displaying correctly. Lots of email followup all day. Dinner at home with Patrick: Real Simple's Thai curry vegetable and tofu soup, water. Afterwards Patrick made us cocktails with whiskey, chamomile liqueur, basil, and lime juice. We watched The Bear s2:e2 on Hulu then part of Leanne Morgan: I'm Every Woman on Netflix. Patrick went to bed. I washed dishes.
