Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted shaved coconut, sliced and toasted almonds, diced half banana; hot water. Walked and rode Muni to UCSF Mission Bay. Suzan's laptop was not working, so I helped her resolve the problem. It seemed it was out of juice? All it seemed it needed was a little bit of charge. Some of the workstations we previously used no longer had equipment set up for us to use like displays and power adapters, so I spent about an hour and a half resolving that. We set Suzan up in the workspace previously used by Nour M. I reattached a display to its arm, did a full adjustment, and Suzan successfully plugged into the Dell USB-C docking station then I helped her configure her displays. Rode rideshare with the Dean's Office Administration team to the Ferry Building Marketplace for a staff appreciation food tour via Michaela with Edible Excursions via Cozymeal. We started with Señor Sisig ube macapuno churro bites. Next we visited Peaches Patties for curry chicken patties. Erika received a veggie stew. I received plantains not spicy. Sorrel-hibiscus-ginger juice for all. Next we visited Epicurean Trader where we ate Acme pain d'epi with Wagon Wheel cheese from Cowgirl Creamery and some kind of brie (I recall hearing American, Utah, and Camembert-style) and two kinds of Dandelion chocolate. Next we tasted one apricot macaron each at Miette. Next we visited Reem's Pali Cali Wrap (flatbread with sumac-braised chicken, caramelized onion sauce, arugula, pickled red onions, halal) and shot of mint lemonade. Last was deep-fried fish tacos and strawberry agua fresca at Cholita Linda. All food and drink were delicious, and we enjoyed hearing backgrounds of the building and of all the chefs and restaurants. The tour took about two hours. Rode rideshare back to work. Organized shared Sharepoint/Teams files in Finder. Walked and rode Muni home. I skipped dinner since I could not eat after today's food tour. Patrick had leftover carrot-ginger soup with half pita and a glass of verdelho. We watched Reservation Dogs s3:e8 on Hulu then The Simpsons s33:e5 on Disney+ then rewatched Comedy Central Presents: Bo Burnham (s13:e22). Patrick went to bed. Late snack: a few bites of leftover tuna salad, some mini pretzels, salted cashews, hot water. I washed dishes.
