Pauline Mak's Work Diary

Instructions

  • Please use Fridays Date in the Date column below.
  • Use the Alerts column for something out of the ordinary, needing attention, worth bragging about.
  • Good idea to mention the field of science, drop people's names etc if appropriate.
  • Keep it short, we don't want a lot, twenty or so words a week should be plenty.
  • Technical details belong elsewhere, please link to them if appropriate.
  • Don't feel that you must wait until Friday to fill it in, you may like to fill it in more often if that works for you.
  • This is also an appropriate place to record holidays or other reasons you may seem unavailable, and that can be in advance too.
