ESA and Enigin Survive “Winter”
It’s that time of year….everything and everyone quietening down for the “big break”. Here in the UK we have of course been having our usual winter panic brought on by relatively little snow and some minus winter temperatures. I was away from the office yesterday, so sadly missed the chance to see various colleagues in their cars sliding across the Enigin car park, but understand there was some fun to be had.
Since working at Enigin, talking to people from all around the world, I always feel pretty stupid about our inability here in the UK to cope with what we call winter. I was talking to fellow ESA Council Member Ken Cheyne who has a metre of snow around his house and, like many others; he cannot believe how easily the UK is brought to a halt by what he sees as a minor “snow flurry”.
I’m going to get my own back though as Ken is visiting us in January to discuss the ESA and other matters, and with a bit of luck we will once again be “suffering the winter”, so his plane, train etc may well be disrupted and then he has to get to the Enigin offices perched high (sort of) above sea level.
Seriously, I am looking forward to his visit as I have been working with him on the ESA product “road tests” I mentioned in an earlier blog and it will be good to be able to sit in the same room (in the same time zone!) and review progress.
December 24th, and I am sitting in the office with few Enigin colleagues left, I have just have a couple of ESA emails to send and then I too will be off to begin the seasonal festivities. Next week we will be beginning the final push for the ESA website re-launch, so I will be around to post a ‘tween Xmas and New Year update, until then ……..
