All,
1) The autoclave to be installed on the 3rd floor did not arrive at the staging facility in Gaithersburg yesterday. We will shoot for delivery and installation next Wednesday and Thursday.
2) This Saturday morning from 6am - 8am, the building will have an entire domestic water shut down to inspect the water main filtration strainer which I suspect was damaged during the December flooding incidents. RO and vivarium systems will not be affected, lab sinks, bathrooms and water fountains will. Things should be returned to normal by 9am that morning.
3) I have finally gotten the shipment of paper towels and batteries for the research labs. These towels are not an exact fit, however the Georgia pacific brand designed for these dispensers cost almost $15 a roll. The campus had no choice but to switch dispensers.
There is a work around however, the Georgia Pacific rolls have two plastic adapters that can be used to insert a much cheaper, yet equally effective roll of paper in the units. I'll be working my way through the building swapping things out and giving instruction on the retrofit.
4) Lastly, I have jury duty tomorrow, let's hope I don't get called.
Thanks!
