*Interim Employment Review at 3 Months*

JD not inaccurate, but perhaps misleading in some ways

  A) A major staffing issue is being addressed by MHMC;

  B) Holiday cover/sick leave as a single person in post has made
     getting a full week with weekends at either end has been
     difficult, and I found this caused some resentment.

     ACTION: MHMC to consider how to address this when addressing the
     larger staffing issue.

     ACTION: MHMC to consider doing some contingency planning for
     extended sickleave: possibly involving former Wardens or existing
     senior staff.  Possibly (already) in the Risk Assessment?

  C) Good things: Learning, including from mistakes, being in charge.
     [Good communcation/collaboration with DS and HST]

  D) Successful: Satisfaction that I can do the job: None of what I've
                 had to do is unfamiliar.

  E) Not so successful:  Not getting as much done as had hoped/feel I
                         should have.  Fixes for some causes for that
                         are in process, and my expectations may also
                         have been a bit overly ambitious

  F) How have Changes I've made worked?  
               Well: Quickbooks / Hallmaster integration working/coming.
                     No evening lettings of the Bow room if other rooms are available.

     * Bell Labs point: No time to make a change for things that
                        happen on an annual basis, given only a 2-year
                        contract.  ACTION: Avoid short-termism!

  G) Work environment:  + Friendliness of staff, hirers, Quakers
                        - Gloomy ground-floor space: some prospect of improvement
      Suggestions: Double-glazing
