Weekly Email

Hi Everyone. Here’s the weekly email!

 

From the OCs:

Comments/Feedback

                If you have comments concerning another employee, please submit them under the comments tab on the internal webpage. Do not send them as feedback. That way it is sure to make it to the right people and the right place. Also, watch closely who you send your feedback to. And if you aren’t sure where to direct your feedback, please send it to the OCs and they can forward it to the correct address.

 

Printing

We were informed by one of our Supervisors (Thanks Allison!!) that double sided printing is now working in the MCL. Spread the good news!

 

 

From Seth

Happy Valentine's Day! If you haven't got something for your significant other, I have a recommendation: Use your stunning Photoshop skills (or your co-worker's stunning Photoshop skills) to create a perfect background for his/her computer (no animals--they really aren't cute). Ahhh.

A reminder that the mid-semester training deadline is February 28th. Fourteen days away! Make sure at least half of your required TIPs are complete, passed off, and recorded on the website by then. Many of you have already finished your TIP requirement. Way to go! For those of you who haven't, REPENT!

Don't forget to send me ideas for Tip of the Week and why you love Phil by February 25th.

 

From Phil

Free Printing: Please remember that only OACL employees are entitled to free printing in the labs. We cannot send print jobs through for free for people that approach the desk simply because they are friends, family, significant others, etc.

 

Punctuality/Kronos: As an organization we’re doing great with punctuality, so let’s keep it up, especially with mid semester reviews around the corner. Remember to check your kronos report often. Please flag and comment on all “problem” punches that are marked in pink, even if it was just for a training class or something, and they will be reviewed and excused as is appropriate.

 

Let us know if you have any questions! Have a great Valentine’s day and good luck this week!

Weekly Email

Here’s the weekly email. Enjoy!

 

From Seth:

I have updated the certifications (the little program icons that show up under your name on the schedule) for everyone who has a competency project turned in. If you are missing a program, shoot me...an e-mail.  If you are a new employee, you must have the library tutorial competency in to me by Feb 25.  If you are not a new employee, you should send me 1 recommendation for Tip of the Week (something really cool and helpful you wish everyone in the world knew), and 1 reason why Phil is the coolest person you know (other than his voice...that is a given) by Feb 25.  Have fun, y'all!

 

From Phil:

JKB Closing at 8pm: Starting today the JKB 1005 lab will remain open until 8pm. This means that it will remain unstaffed between 6-8 M-Th, and 5-8pm on Fridays. The East Zone supervisor will close the lab as a part of their walk. If you have a shift when you normally close the JKB lab, please remember to leave it open when you leave.

 

President’s Day: The schedule has been updated to reflect changed hours for President’s Day (2/21) as well as Tuesday (2/22) that will match the Monday instruction schedule. Please look ahead at these two days and make sure you know when you are scheduled to work.

 

From the OCs:

Lab Console:

Starting today, you will need to start changing a setting lab console when you open a lab, and will need to check this at the start of each of your shifts. We are getting a handful of help requests that are not being taken care of. Changing this will help with that problem. Under Options then Preferences, change the “Help Requests popup” to Always.

 

 

Description: cid:image002.png@01CBC6B4.55ACC4F0

 

Please remember to do this daily, especially those of you who open labs regularly. We recommend just checking it at the start of each of your shifts. Having it be a regular habit will ensure that it happens.

 

 

Thanks! Hope everyone has a great week. Let us know if you have any questions or problems.
