Happy New Year, and some new year's resolutions

With the new year, we would like to institute some rules within the Research
Group. This applies to everybody in Research and is at the express request
of Vince, but I am just sending it to my reports (and their reports) as of
now.

People are expected to report to work in the morning around 8:00 am to 8:30
am but NO LATER than 8:30 am. This is primarily because our clients from
other groups typically start calling around 8:00 am and we need to be
responsive. Of course, once in a while if something urgent comes up then
this may be relaxed but you are responsible for letting both your supervisor
and your assistant (Anita and/or Shirley) know in advance.

I am trying to come up with a schedule that will allow me to get updated on
all the work that you guys are doing, and I will probably set this up next
week after Vince finishes drawing up the overall directions for the group for
2001.

Thanks,
Vasant
