Took the standard walk, starting at 7:30, back before 9. Beating the heat, although in fact the forecast heat was not bad today.
At 9:30 set up the auditorium so Mickie could practice with her slides, for a presentation at the next RA meeting on Monday. To my surprise, Mickie, who is quite smart and with it, and who was at one point in her career, the mayor of Menlo Park, was not a skilled presenter. The presenter’s slides are shown on the big screen on the end wall. The presenter, if facing the audience, has her back to the screen. Mickie took the microphone off the stand and stood with her right shoulder to the audience, looking to her left at the screen, and read the bullet points off her powerpoint presentation. What?!? Oh well. Not my presentation.
After that, knowing there was a big backlog of donations at FOPAL, and having the day free once I had shut down the auditorium, I headed down there and spent 2:30 doing sorting.
Back home I set about answering several questions about the 11th floor equipment that had come up. That took a couple of hours. Not going to go into detail. Wireless mics, bleagh.
