Troubleshot Disk Utility problems related to Time Machine problems: disk utility stuck on creating partition map. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted shaved coconut, sliced and toasted almonds, diced mango left over from a few days ago; hot water. Walked and rode Muni to UCSF Parnassus. Bus schedule is still wonky but today it worked in my favor. Siteimprove linkchecking, spellchecking, and policy work all day. Finalized and scheduled an html email reminder for the forthcoming school retreat. Prepared for ordering AP Stylebook licenses; we are switching from Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) to AP Stylebook. Did some account credential hardening for work credentials. Digital letterhead work for new faculty member Diego C. Team meeting with Suzan and Katherine. Met with Anne S about the Merced pathway. Prepped for styling work in Drupal by downloading a new database from Acquia Cloud to update my local dev environment. Confirmed that an infrequently used listserv still exists for OSA. Met with Jayson J who showed me how to order a MacBook Pro in BearBuy. Walked and rode Muni home. Patrick and I walked and rode Muni to the Castro. We dined at Wilkommen. Patrick had a schnitzel sando with fries and a 0.5-liter stein of Playa mexican lager. I had a lemonade and angus burger with fries. The curry ketchup on my burger was a little too spicy for me but I was able to eat it. Afterwards we walked to The Academy for our first evening visit since Patrick joined with a Metropolitan membership a few days ago. We attended the Bare Chest Calendar mixer and the Friday Cocktail Social. We had a great time, then walked and rode Muni home. Outside our home a dog from across the street wandered over to us to say hello, which we enjoyed. We met neighbor Jade who lives across the street and cares for dog Charlie once a week.
