While You Were Out Notes for Scientists

The lab is our workplace and in many ways it’s similar to any other job in a traditional office environment. We have a desk, a boss and a set of coworkers that on occasion can push our buttons. We even have TPS reports – although they’re more often referred to as “notebook entries” or “manuscript reviews” around the lab. However, when a co-worker steps out of the lab, an entirely different set of circumstances may ensue. Now we’re got an easy way to update the missing with the While You Were Out Notes for Scientists.

So next time a labmate places the phony “I’m in the library” message on their desk, make them sweat a bit when they return from their two-hour lunch by leaving one of these notes on their bench. Simply download, print, and fill out the note then sit back and watch what happens.

DOCTOR’S WARNING: Do not use the While You Were Out Note for Scientists on individuals with high blood pressure or short fuses as both situations could be harmful to their – or your – health.
