Monthly Meeting Minutes and Notes


Date: Sept. 13, 2024
Time: 10:00–10:12 a.m.
Location: Breakroom/Lab/Crying Nook
Attendees: Dr. Tarl, Dr. Kate, Barbra, New Employee #3

Aug. 6’s meeting notes were reviewed and approved with one change. (Note from Dr. Tarl: “I’d like my name to appear first in the attendees list. Not that it matters, but because I pay all of you people, I should get respect where I can.”)

Developments: Barbra reported that the efficiency and planning handbook module is 80% complete; she is on track to request another extension one month from now. A minor bug was identified in the login computer: a silverfish, which was squished with a paper plate.

Quality assurance: Dr. Kate noticed that all of the lip balms in the bowl in the lobby don’t actually contain anything. No one is sure how this happened or how long patients have been walking out the door with empty plastic tubes. Note from Dr. Kate: “It’s kind of funny.” A vote was taken: 3–1 in favor of it being kind of funny; Dr. Tarl dissenting.

Staff updates: Dr. Tarl will be on vacation next week. He said he’s doing a “retirement dry run” by testing out the display caskets at Costco. Barbra mentioned she is going to take a scheduled sick day “sometime soon, like, just one of these mornings when the thought of driving here is too [censored] much.”

Risk assessment: New Employee #3 suggested that team retention might improve if the others in the office bothered to learn his name.

Next meeting: TBD.

Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned after 12 minutes when a patient came into the room to ask if someone forgot he was in the operatory.
