I've been thrown right into the mix right away and have barely had a minute to breathe. I'm scheduling gas after the morning trades have been made which basically entails lining up the buyers and sellers to exchange contract numbers. However, it's a great place to learn operational logistics. The intent is that I'll be productive in the role immediately while learning the ropes. As they hire the needed full-time schedulers and I get up to speed, I'll move into market research for the traders. My first such assignment is to value storage in different markets based on historical gas pricing and injection-withdrawel strategies. Let's just say my plate looks to be full. By the way, I'm sure you saw the previous email from our buddy, Ted Bland. Looks like he got the message, although I'm still feeling like there's still some orientation regarding the A/A program itself that we're missing. For instance, did you see that there's a whole page in the intranet dedicated to the program. It mentions month guest speakers and lunches. I also saw mention of a mentoring program. Of course, the A/A happy hours important as well. I'd like to know more. Anyway, the real reason I wanted to drop the line is to find out if you're spending all your time in Georgia, or if you want to grab lunch sometime this week or hear of any after work activities that would help in meeting other people at Enron. You can reach me at 3-0472. Later, Mat
