[lm-announce] Microscope log books!

Dear All,

Can I please remind you to fill in the log books when you use a  
microscope.  This is really important for a number of reasons including

- logging faults, identifying component wear
- logging hours and justifying funding
- keeping on top of lamp hours
- billing you for the time you use rather than having to make up a  
(much bigger) number for ourselves

To give an example, of the last 21 sessions booked on the BioRad, only  
4 were logged in the log book.  As we come to do the monthly figures  
for all of the other microscopes, I'm hoping this turns out to be an  
uncharacteristic and isolated blip in an otherwise unblemished round  
of log book administration.  I say "we" - Calum is the one charged  
with doing the log books while I drink coffee and occasionally throw  
chalk at him. Apparently, by not filling in the log sheets, you're  
making his life difficult.  That's my job, so please make his life a  
little less miserable than it needs to be and fill in the log books  
when you use the scopes.

Thanks!
Sam
