Dear Group,
Just a reminder that tomorrow Fri 29 Jan is our *Lab Housecleaning* event.
It shouldn't take us long to clean/unpack/organize our individual desk space
(if you haven't already), as well as the common areas in each office/bay.
We need volunteers for the latter. We should decide collectively where to
store/place specific group items/equipment. For instance, the PCs/scanners
might be moved to another desk space depending on where the new fridge will
be placed. Please start as soon as you get in, ideally finishing before 3pm
group meeting so we can have pizza afterward.
A few things:
We have a labelmaker (I think Sigi has it now) to label the file
cabinets/shelves that hold the group items, office and computer supplies.
We should also label the phone handsets (if haven't already) with the new
lab phone numbers.
I have Sharpies to label the group reference books if haven't already done
so. We should organize them by first author. :)
We also got a poster storage file to keep our posters neatly organized.
It's the large box in my office.
The coffee machine and cups/supplies are quite dirty too so that should be
cleaned. We should have a sponge and Ivory dish detergent somewhere.
Shopping list:
We ordered 5 poster travel tubes w/ carrying straps to use when you present
at conferences. They're a little pricey so we need to keep track of them.
If you lose one, I will request partial compensation for the replacement
($20) and put the money towards the fund we use for tequila. :)
We have 2 new computers that are still in their box. Ask Alan if you need
to replace your current machine.
If you didn't get one of the new monitors and want one, then please let me
know. If you need a connector/card/power source/etc, please let me know.
It would be ideal to buy everything in a single run to Microcenter.
Any news on the fridge? Where are the group copy cards? I need to fill
them or get replacements if lost. How about the laser pointer and wireless
presenter? I have a couple more laser pointers. Let's locate these items
and put them in a safe place.
What else?
Thanks!
Anna
