Subject: 6th Floor Conference Room

Everyone please note that we have given up some of the space on the 6th floor, and as a result we no longer have a conference room on the 6th Floor.

Please keep in mind that we are operating with one true conference room. As a result, please be flexible. We may need to reprioritize scheduled meetings.

Thanks.

Subject: Tape dispenser & mouse pads...

Good morning everyone!

Tape dispensers & mouse pads were ordered and received at the office about two weeks ago and most of them were recalled and returned to be replace by more attractive ones. We're still missing two tape dispensers and one mouse pad.

Please return them to me as soon as possible.

Also note that the new supplies will be provided as soon as we can return the remaining ones.

The three Reservations Specialists who took the highest number of calls in September 2000 are as follows:

Zbigniew Bzymek- 1484

Maria Stanko - 974

Kevin Palmer - 111

In September we sold 22 Museum Memberships. The highest seller was Nathan Woods.

Through careful monitoring we have determined that Elise Havemeyer wins the accuracy award again with only one mistake for the month of September.

Thanks everyone - and keep up the great work!

Subject: Cancellations in the High Plains

Howdy, Leval 200's

I would like to make a standard procedure for cancelling school reservations.

Please fill out the purple sheet.

Please cancell the reservation.

Please put in the memo field, who called in to cancel, and why, and your initials.

If you are making a change only to the reservation, use the purple sheet, and write on it at the top in big letters, CHANGE ONLY.

If we all keep to these practices, and do the same thing every time, all will be well in the department.

Thank you for your support.

Subject: 21st Floor - Fire Alarm System Testing

Tomorrow, Thursday, September 21, at about 12:30 p.m. the Fire Department will be here to test the 20th floor fire alarm system with Fire Alarm Services (one of the building engineers will also be working with them). Because of the three floor alarm system the 21st floor will be part of this testing. The horns, speakers, and strobes will be activated and checked by Fire Alarm Services.

If you have a critical issue that would be disturbed by this testing please feel free to call the management office with any questions or concerns.

Bldg. Ops.
Dept. 16

Could whoever took the silver Starbucks coffee mug from the shelf near the freight loading dock please return it? We've been experiencing a lot of missing items lately and would greatly appreciate it if people would ask first before they take items.

Thanks,

Dave

I need to find out about the storage lockers in the corridor off the hallway that leads from the 77th Street elevators to the staff cafeteria. Two are Membership's. Does anybody know to whom the other two belong?

Subject: 11th Floor Bathrooms

Someone letf the sink on in the 11th floor men's room, and i found it almost overflowed.

I think this (and maybe the women's bathroom sinks) will overflow if left on when you leave the bathroom, so please make sure you turn off the water before you leave the bathrooms.

Thanx,

Ronnie Stanley

Subject: refrigerator etiquette

A good rule to follow:

When there are BITE MARKS in a food item found in the fridge, that PROBABLY means that the item belongs to someone and you should leave it alone.
