Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted shaved coconut, sliced and toasted almonds, blueberries; hot water. Walked and rode Muni to UCSF Parnassus. Siteimprove linkchecking, spellchecking, and policy work. Followup with Jaime K about LinkedIn post previews. Followup with James H about his old laptop, which I agreed could be wiped and surplussed. Followup with IT about the CCI email account and password. Followup with a problem in which I am unable to complete a Service Now form because they require a phone number and I don't have a work phone and don't want to put my home phone. Followup with Kelly K about starting a new email newsletter for CCB. Followup with IT. Accepted a package for Jen C from a woman delivering for Amazon. A few minutes later she returned trying to find a room in HSE. I walked her there. It took about 15 minutes. Even I didn't know what I was doing. A few minutes after I walked her to the building exit a different woman entered asking, "Where is Ladle and Leaf?" I again gave directions but this time did not walk her all the way there. I went to get lunch. Bernard decided to join but not eat. Along the way outside Kalmanovitz Library Bernard purchased snickerdoodles from a bake sale benefitting children in Gaza. At You See Sushi I learned they are closed on Monday. I tried to eat at Yellow Submarine, but that too was closed. I got to go a crunchy chicken ranch pita with fries from Foghorn Taproom. We walked to Golden Gate Park across the baseball field. Bernard napped while I ate. The food was delicious. I couldn't finish it. I would do better next time to get just the pita and not the fries. Lemon La Croix sparkling water to drink. At the park two people were flying remote-controlled airplanes. The day was warmer than usual. We walked back to work. Team meeting with Katherine and Suzan. Edited a news story for Katherine. Responded to ACDRS website questions from Jaime K. Followup with IT. Removed occurrences of Brandon O's name from our website following his departure from his role at UCSF. Redirected a misdirected request for website help. Asana task followup. Began preparing to send items to surplus. Chatted with Nathan D about sending things to surplus. Walked and rode Muni home. Dinner at home with Patrick: cashew chicken and steamed rice, hot water. Patrick also had a glass of red wine.
