Dear Readers,
Wouldn't you like to get away from the office, down to Sydney Harbour for a few hours in the sunshine ? Yes folks, down-under it is summer in Sydney at Christmas.
These days, I am sure you would agree it is hard to get all the office people together, with the kind of hectic travel schedules that modern corporate engineering demands. Some in our office, including yours truly have spent up to 150 days travelling this year, and we as is customary each year, we planned to get our local office colleagues together and chat one on one about how things worked out.
The Invensys Sydney team, put away the laptops and tablets during the week and boarded "The Southern Swan" for a Christmas lunch. This ship, a tall ship originally from Denmark c 1922, but still cruising around Sydney Harbour some 90 years later, is a fully rigged ship [with an engine] and sails and ropes and interesting bits and pieces nautical.
It had been raining hard in the days prior and there was a worry that our team combined with about 60 other tourists might have to cram down in the hold below deck or scramble under a kind of tarpaulin if the rain continued to pour down. Some of our team came to the dock sporting large brightly colored branded nylon jackets [souvenir's of long completed SCADA projects].
But the seagulls were flying and we ended up on a sunny afternoon, a few clouds, light breeze and a place down the stern of the boat to swap yarns about fish that got away.
With this simple postcard, would like to wish all the people that interact with us at Invensys Operations Management in any way, a happy and joyful Christmas time and we will be back with more entertaining, enlightening, and educational blog stories in the New Year.
Sincerely,
Chris J Smith
