The lightest week?

In theory but...! This week 3 work shadowers, inducting a team member whose been away ill for two terms, 3 primary school practical events, 4 sets of SLC impact forms to help complete, chemical orders, book returns, maintenance and furnishings tasks, training on Stepping Stones activities, working out budget for Stepping Stones technician support, sorting out old desktop in spare prep room for library system textbook returns, submitting hours for additonal technician help, etc etc.... and many tasks I should have done. I'm concerned it will be the end of term before I've looked at my main long term objectives like drafting our safety policy and also a presentation for Years 7 and 12 pupils on introducing the technician service and our tidy up after a practical expectations of them ready for September. I haven't yet looked at our domestic orders but I know we've run out of at least one essential resource, Marigold washing up gloves!

I'm pleased with one recent acquisition that I ordered for our recently returned technician, a light weight blue plastic trolley recommended by a fellow school science technician on the UCLAN archive list who had back problems and which is conveniently slightly higher than the other trollies so it lines up with the work bench heights, is a dream to push and has comfortable handles. You can fit two Gratnell trays side by side on the two lower trays and two overlapping on the top. Assembled valiently by our youngest technician team member (the moulded trays were not perfectly moulded and there was much banging involved in assembling ). GlS did the best price at about £230.
