bloody good effort - i thought you ' d have lost a lot of systems .
so how are things - thanks for the message only got it last night as the phones have been down most of the week - end . we spent the week - end figuring out alternative ways home for marcus ' s mum ( indianappolis - new york - london is how she finally got home - obviously her luggage got lost ) and also picking up my parents who are now out golfing every hour god sends as no - one else thinks the courses are open . no other damage though .
what ' s my news - nothing exciting - lavo did ring last week to tell me that everyone is saying i am going back to london , david port rang friday and said there were many rumours around ( some not so nice too ! ) . but suffice to say i presume they are all bollocks as no - one has mentioned anything to me ! but then maybe i ' ll be the last person to get consulted . matthew scrimshaw made the move to ebs so i do have some info there - but i figure you ' ll already know it as its now 4 days old ! i have never been more up to speed with emails - i only have 5 in my inbox
in other news - scott is finally sleeping more ( i got a whole 7 hours last night ) so i am back at work on monday - are you free any time this week for lunch to catch me up on the gossip before i get back ? i could never be a stay at home mum - i am lacking in all the requried attributes - patience and inability to spend money , with nothing to do apart from look after scott - i have become the demon internet spotter .
let me know about lunch
regards

week .
in summary , the back up systems in both facilities did engage and operate as designed ; however , due to the extreme conditons and stress placed upon the systems the facility held up extremely well . i would also like to note throughout the ordeal beginning friday evening through sunday , everyone ( enron networks ; ees facilitiesclark const ; way engring ; fisk electric ; henderson electric ; kw - pillar ; hines ) did an outstanding job under enourmous pressure and the most severe conditions i have seen in downtown houston . communication , around the clock work and cool heads managed to assess damage and develop action / restoration plans to facilitate repairs for monday business
let me know if you need further details on specific issues or items .
