From williamd at southwestern.edu Mon May 5 09:46:39 2008 From: williamd at southwestern.edu (David Williamson) Date: Mon May 5 09:46:36 2008 Subject: [rcc] Time sheets Message-ID: <481F1DCF.6070906@southwestern.edu> It's rainy and messy outside. What a great way to start finals week. On top of that, I need you to come by and sign your time sheets today before 4pm. We have made some "Study Packs" for you as an incentive - a little something to help you survive Finals. You can choose from Coffee, Tea, or Hot Chocolate. Help yourself when you come by. I'll leave them out by the printer. If someone moves them, look around or ask. As usual, check your time sheets for accuracy. Please leave a stamped, self-addressed envelope or e-mail a mailing address to Diana Taylor so she can send your check for this pay period (and any you work this week). Finally, if you haven't signed up for hours for next Fall, look for the big black binder. It has next year's schedule for Mood and SLC labs. Good luck on Finals. If I don't see you until next Fall, have a safe and adventurous summer. And congratulations to those of you graduating.
