Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, cacao nibs, toasted grated coconut, sliced and toasted almonds, blueberries; hot water. Walked and rode Muni to UCSF Parnassus. It took 53 minutes to travel 1.83 miles. The daymare started when I got to my regular bus 66 stop and noticed on my phone that the bus was not on schedule. The map said it was behind me, so I turned around, and it was parked a block away. It never parks there. The driver was on the sidewalk taking a break, so I knew the bus was broken, which is very unusual on this line. I waited 11 minutes for a 48 bus to take me 7 blocks to 19th Avenue. As the bus let me out, I saw a 28 bus stop past the bus stop because a garbage truck was parked in the bus zone while a worker removed lots of abandoned trash next to a trash can. Since the bus stopped on the wrong side of the intersection, it purposely waited for all the people waiting at the bus stop to cross the street so that they could board. But because the operator crossed the intersection just as the light turned yellow, I now needed to cross twice if I were to try to catch it, and so now it was impossible. After a minute, the bus took off. I waited more time for the next bus, a 28R. I rode to 19th and Judah then waited for an N train and rode that to Irving and Arguello. Finally at work. Reported trash abandoned at the Muni stop shelter and at the elevator lobby inside the building. Siteimprove linkchecking, spellchecking, and policy work. Helped Aggie troubleshoot a problem with Gmail messages disappearing. I was unable to resolve it for her, and I think all her messages are permanently gone. Asana task cleanup. Spent most of the day on the new year message build. Late lunch to go from Panda Express: Panda Bowl with fried rice with mushroom chicken. Water from my water bottle. Began listening to a podcast episode of Jesse Tyler Ferguson interviewing Sandra Bernhard. The Panda Bowl container is now paper instead of plastic. The portion size seems smaller than before. Edited a short news story for Katherine. In the afternoon I attended the town hall and managed the Zoom recording. I started the webinar over an hour beforehand because the time had changed from 2 to 3. Not everyone received the updated calendar invitation, and we don't know why or how. Asset generation using Components AI. Walked and rode Muni home. Dinner at home with Patrick: smoked trout and avocado salad toasts, hot water. Patrick had a glass of red wine. Dessert: we shared my fortune cookie from lunch. My fortune: True love is worth waiting for. I washed dishes. Afterwards I had Bailey's on ice with a chocolate fig. We watched various YouTube videos. Patrick went to bed. I stayed up for a few hours more then went to bed. Late snack: peanut butter on toasted slices of pain de levain, water.
