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 Parnassus. Team meeting. Siteimprove linkchecking, spellchecking, and policy work. Social media work: switched from creating Instagram templates in Photoshop then Illustrator to InDesign. Illustrator doesn't do text in tables well. And neither Photoshop nor Illustrator has paragraph styles. In the end I didn't use the tables, but the paragraph styles and the primary pages were what made InDesign far more efficient than Illustrator and Photoshop for creating 19 images for Instagram. Pre-lunch: one Venus orange. Lunch from Cafe Bellini: ham and cheddar sandwich with fries: $9. Water from my water bottle. Ate at desk while rewatching 17 minutes of Oh, Hello on Netflix. Continued Instagram templates. Followup with an IT request about a retired website. Followup with annual teaching awards work. Attempted to harden or otherwise resolve more account credentials. Walked and rode Muni home, watching more of Oh, Hello on Netflix. Walked and rode Muni with Patrick to dinner at Detour: wellness bowl with pork adobo no chili oil, hamburger with nori tater tots. Patrick had a limeade, I had a pale ale in a can. Afterwards we walked to The Academy for Academy Live: Katy & Karina who sang and played piano and drum for a memorable performance involving perfect vocalizations and harmonies and original songs mixed with songbook classics. They opened with Cantilever Bridge and ended with Dream a Little Dream of Me. Along the way we heard songs by Wham!, Chappell Roan, Yaz, and more. We enjoyed our evening very much. Rode UberX home.
