Subject: Re: Warning

Dear Helpdesk,

The container that was found on the desk was an empty container and posed
absolutely no threat to CSE equipment unless in the unlikely event that it
spontaneously combusts, but even then some combustable fuel would have to be
present.

I can understand how a container containing liquids would be likely to infringe
upon the "Yellow Form", but in this case when an empty bottle was found? I am
sure that evidence from the suvelliance cameras can be retrieved to prove my
innocence.

Furthurmore, the presence of the container was due to the fact that I could not
find one recycle bin along the way from the CSE office to the bugle lab where
the warning was issued other than a paper-only bin.

Could the relevant authorities please consider retracting the warning please.

Thanks,
B

Hi Benjamin,

The Yellow Form Policy clearly states that:

"Eating and drinking in the labs is not allowed; and any food, drinks
or containers must be kept in a bag and out of sight. The equipment
is far too susceptible to accidents to allow for any exceptions."

Note that that rule includes containers, and the fact that there
are no exceptions. Having a food or drink containers on the desk
of a CSE workstation is therefore clearly a breach of Yellow Form
Policy.

I notice that this is your first warning. No action will be taken
until a third offence is noted. Now that you are familiar with the
policy, please do not bring food, drinks, or food/drink containers
into the CSE labs again.

If you have any questions about the Yellow Form policy,
or think that it should be changed, you can contact my superior George
Emsies (georgee@cse.unsw.edu.au).

Please let me know if I can be of any more assistance.

Regards,
Neil. (Help Desk)
