@RandolphWest The dock does, yes. The menu bar does not appear when opening finder. @CoffeeRain I'll trykillall SystemUIServer
when I return home. But wouldn't a reboot solve that as well? I've rebooted several times.

There are some steps to follow on this thread: discussions.apple.com/thread/1064792?start=0&tstart=0. Start with a Repair Permissions, then remove any third-party plugins you may have recently installed. At least it comes back when you open certain programs, so you can see what's loaded.

This is old, but I had the same problem.
I tried deleting systemuiserver.plist from ~/Library/Preferences
and ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
and restarted the computer, but it didn’t work.
I then went into the “Desktop & Screen Saver” preferences, deselected and then reselected “Translucent menu bar.” When I rebooted, the menu bar appeared. I rebooted a few more times just to test it and it loaded every time.
