Subject: Reeds, and other bendable objects

So I watched the news last night and discovered to my utter dismay that the  whole damn city of Seattle began rioting over my pointed absence this  weekend.
Some people just don't know how to control those emotions, I guess.
How was dinner, anyway?
I was actually hoping to come, but I seem to have  misplaced Michael's phone number and so had no way of contacting you guys.
Also, I wasn't quite confident in my ability to find your house through  "alternative" methods such as hanging out at the train station or wandering  through Microsoft millionaire-type neighborhoods.
And to top it all off, I  lost my voice Friday night - for no apparent reason other than the usual  deficit of sleep and surplus of cigarettes - and wouldn't you know it would  have to turn into a full blown cold by this morning.
As can be expected, we're experiencing the most insanely gorgeous weather  I've seen in all my Februarys in Portland, which is making my acceptance of  actually being sick even more difficult.
Whatever happened with your fever?
I'd feel much better if I knew others were sharing my pain.
In fact, I  promptly gave my cold to Amber on Saturday, so I'd have a partner in my time  of homebound misery.
She took it a step further, in true drama queen fashion.
Case in point - I'm at work, she's rounding out her 39th consecutive hour in  bed.
Anyway, I'm going to skip out of here a whopping half an hour EARLY today  because people are starting to look visibly pained when I try to talk.
But I  thought I'd check on the success of the dinner party and apologize for not  making it.
And if you get a chance, tell Michael that I have a very  legitimate reason for losing his phone number.
Or at least, I'll have one by  the time he calls.

Subject: I'm going home

I'm so sorry, gals, but I feel awful and I'm going home to nurse myself to  health.
If you could direct your e-mails for the remainder of the day to the  respective traders, I would really appreciate it.
And if anything can wait  until tomorrow, just e-mail it to me and I'll take care of it in the morning.
I'm going to sleep for the next 15 hours and see if that rids me of this cold  once and for all!
Thanks,
Subject: Dow Jones 2/27

I'm feeling pretty under the weather today, so I'm going to sneak out of here  early - but I haven't yet received the Dow Jones data for today.
Instead, I'm  sending yesterday's information.
If you need today as well, let me know and  I'll send it first thing in the morning.
Thanks,
Subject: Stewart Rosman deal - Port of Oakland

Sharen told me this morning that you guys were waiting on a deal Stewart  Rosman did with Port of Oakland yesterday and wanted confirmed today.
I've  spoken with a few people here and discerned that the deal wasn't in because  the counterparty wasn't in the system yet.
I took a look and found that Port  of Oakland had been added, and entered the deal according to the terms  Stewart sent out in an e-mail yesterday.
Deal number is 533916.
Thanks for  waiting.

Subject: Daily Trade Volumes - Examples

Here are a few examples of the summary I send out each afternoon.
I've sent  four as attached documents and one just pasted into the e-mail.
Use whichever  works best for you, and let me know if you need more.

Subject: Daily EOL Summary 2/28

Beginning tomorrow this report will contain Inter-Continental Exchange (ICE)   trade numbers and volumes, in addition to EOL and brokered deal information.
Please look for that information at the beginning of the e-mail.
Also note  that the ICE data is released one day later, so it will not correlate  directly to the EOL data below it.
(i.e.
Daily EOL Summary 3/1 will include  ICE data from 2/28) Enjoy...
Subject: Deals with Time Zones Amended

It looks like your Deal Blotter settings may be defaulting to PST time zone.
But these April deals need to flow during the PDT time zone.
Could you check  your settings and make sure the time zone defaults to PPT (that way the  strips will choose PST or PDT accordingly)?
Two additional deals were changed to the correct time zone: 534074 534072 534071 534053  Thanks,

Thanks,

I've got one more deal that Houston says they haven't received a signed  confirm letter for - 420529.
Stephanie Piwetz says she spoke to Grant County  and they said they already sent out that one and 432854, but haven't received  them back from us......????
Do you know where they are?
Kate   (From 2/26/01) Just something to keep in mind -  The confirms group in Houston is waiting on signed confirm letters from Grant  County for the following three deals -  432854 420554 420563  I've let Stephanie Piwetz and Sharen Cason know that you'll forward the  letters on to them once you receive them.
Or you can give them to me and I'll  fax them over.
Keep me posted on the progress.

Subject: Updated EES Sales 3/6

Please note:  Prices were not updated in last night's spreadsheet.
Correct prices are in  3/6 worksheet now.
Also, per Daniel Kang, EES load is shown in negative  numbers, Dow Jones and fixed price sales are shown in positive numbers.
Please call with questions.

Subject: EPMI/EES Sale Discrepancies - Feb

Re: Deal discrepancies for the month of February.
Following are the problems  that have been brought to my attention and the solutions we've reached.
Please call me with questions.
This spreadsheet includes a missing purchase for total of 55 mw @ 195.00 on  2/25.
Sorry for the confusion - per Bill Williams III.
This spreadsheet includes modified volumes in the fixed price sale at ZP-26  on 2/6.
In addition, deal 525625.2 has been corrected in scheduling (there was one  strip duplicating HE 8) and autoscheduled.
Deal 529314.1 has also been  autoscheduled, which should remedy the discrepancy on 2/24, HE 7-17.
Please  let me know if the new CARP report does not reflect this.

I will be attending an Energy Math training session today from 9 a.m. to 5  p.m. PST.
Please direct all correspondence to traders whose deals are in  question.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience - but hopefully I'll be smarter  when I come back!
I'll check in and wrap things up at 5:00, so if you have any questions you'd  like to save for me, I'll be at my desk then.

Following are the deals we've changed -  536574 - from Firm to Caiso energy 537885/886/888/889/890 - from Yes to No confirm  And I'm looking into the status of the price on 538874.
I'll let you know.

Subject: Deal Changes - Add Comments

Melissa Murphy would like us to begin adding a note in the comments section  of all the deals we change.
I know most of you already do this when you make  big changes to deals, but she'd like to see more comments more often.
Of  course this mostly applies to me, but I thought I'd pass it along just in  case.
See the attached e-mail, and let me know if you have questions.
Thanks,
Subject: 412868

Fran - It looks like you either made changes or added legs to this deal  today.
Do they need to reconfirm this?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Subject: 540493

Questions about this deal -   1.
Should energy type be CAISO?
2.
Should trade date be 3/7?
3.
Should confirmation status be "NO"?
I believe the answer to all of these is yes, but I wanted to check before  changing anything.
The confirms group is getting extra sensitive about deals  marked for confirmation, since they are now confirming all daily deals.
Just  a reminder to double-check your default settings and your deals for the  confirmation status.
Thanks,
Subject: deal 3689

I'm losing my mind.
Did I already forward this note to you?
Do you still need  the confirmation information?
I can print out whatever they have stored in  Livelink, or you can contact Stephanie - it looks like she has what you were  searching for.
Thanks,
Subject: PGE Dailies

I just spoke with Kim Hundl in the Confirms group.
She's been told by PGE  that they do not want confirmation letters sent for daily deals.
Apparently  there are a bunch of these in the system under your desk that are noted to be  confirmed.
The confirms group can change all of these deals to "no confirm,"  but they wanted to double-check with you guys first.
Do you agree with PGE,  or would you like these deals confirmed?
Let me know.
Thanks,
Subject: PX Index Deal 253768

Bob - Val was looking into this deal, but now that she's gone I wonder if you could  help me with it.
It's a swap that was done on 10/18/99 between LTWM and EES.
It's an off-peak deal for 0.2 mw at a price of $23.00 and settlement index of  PX SP-15.
There are five legs that each run for one year - Cal'05 through  Cal'09.
I understand you've been working on making the switch from PX to Dow Jones  indices.
Do you know anything about this deal and whether or not its index  needs to be changed?
Please let Melissa or me know.
Thanks,
Subject: 541403

Our IT group was able to solve the problem on this deal.
It wouldn't save  because the schedule type field was not populating correctly; which was a  little disturbing because this is an EOL deal, and all fields should populate  automatically.
Dave Poston thinks he's fixed the problem, so you shouldn't  run into anymore deals that won't save due to blank deal entry fields.
If you  do, though, please let Dave or me know and we'll look into it further.
You  should now be able to add to the deal clearing tab and save the deal.
Thanks,
Subject: 549646

This is a problem I've been working on with IT.
They released a new version  of deal entry, and for some reason certain EOL trades are automatically  populating all of the new fields, including Schedule Type.
I've got Dave  Poston working on this, and I'll let you know when we've fixed it so you can  save your part.
Thanks,
Subject: New Trader IDs

The Portland West Desk needs two new traders added to EnPower.
I believe  you're the correct person to contact for this, but please let me know if I  should talk to somebody else.
We'd like to have our mid-marketers enter their  own trades now, and many of them already have the IDs to do that.
Two  marketers - Paul Choi and Greg Wolfe - do not.
I know that when I took over  the Deal Control position here John Forney contacted you to help me acquire a  trader ID, so I'm hoping you can help me with this task.
Thank you,
Subject: New Trader IDs

Thank you in advance for you help in adding this trader's name to the system:  Add this Power Trader to the EnPower: Paul Choi  Samuel Schott has told me that you would prefer to have the desk this trader  works for, but because Paul is a mid-marketer he works with several different  desks, including Long Term California and Long Term Southwest.
Please let me  know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Subject: My superior intelligence and other IMPLICIT truths

I suppose my victory in this, our latest but not last competition, would be  IMPLIED.
Rather, I mean that my triumph could be INFERRED or even TACIT.
My  skill is UNDERSTOOD, my speed INSINUATED, and my nimble pairing of the two is  INTIMATED by the fact that I won this competition.
Now, I'll be sadly disappointed if you don't get this e-mail until later  today, being that you have such a confusing and multi-layered e-mail  situation, because I need for you to know that I got the answer first.
So for  the record, it is 8:45 a.m. on Monday.
A side note: I also have The Great  Gatsby in my possession.

Subject: Forward Ob test run

I'd be more than happy to run a test of the new forward obligation report in  order for you to move it to production.
I do use the application everyday  when determining the West desk positions in relation to each other, so it's a  report I'm familiar with and also one that may affect me if it's changed.
Please let me know if you'd like me to run the report and under what terms.
Thanks,
Subject: EES Deal Change

I've changed deal 547478 to reflect the correct price - $109.90 off peak and  $174.15 on peak - and made a note in our deal correction report.
Please keep  me informed on any discrepancies you run across.
I'll be happy to look into  it.
Thanks,
Subject: Changed Deals - 460785, 460858, 460862

These deals were entered as flowing all days, and should have just been Mon -  Sat.
This was my fault, as I didn't know my computer defaulted to all days.
(This has since been fixed!)
I've changed them in the system and was told to  let you know so you can re-confirm the deals with just on-peak days.
Sorry  about the hassle.
I promise I'll get the hang of this soon!
Thanks,
Subject: Changes to SAR Report

Will -   I've passed your phone number along to Bill Williams, the Real Time group  manager here in Portland.
He should be contacting you shortly to discuss  problems with and changes to the Scheduling Activity Report.
I've checked  with other groups on the floor and found that the report is only used by Real  Time, and less frequently by groups assisting Real Time, so I believe Bill or  someone in his group could most suitably test the new application.
Let me  know if there's anything else I can do, and thanks for all your help today.

Subject: APB Checkout/Jeff Richter Deals

Jeff has both sides of both deals in the system correctly.
Here are the deal  numbers.
461029 Williams 115.00  461030 EES 114.95  461801 Mieco 115.00  461802 EES 114.95  And Deal #461139 was actually a Short Term Southwest deal done by Tom Alonso  with Williams for the same price on the same days, but with Prebon.
Confusion!
Hope this fixes it.
Subject: Date details

Details in exchange for this -   I read an article this morning that quoted an ISO market analyst speaking  about the $6.2 billion the system operator would like to recover in charges  since last spring: "We are not saying now that these are overcharges.
We are  telling the FERC that we see these as the amounts that we deem 'excessive.'"
The lead of the story was this: "The California Independent System  Operator......significantly upped the ante Thursday when it told the Federal  Energy Regulatory Commission that 21 generators and suppliers should refund  the state a stunning $6.2 billion for electricity sold into the state since  last May."
First of all, tell me what the difference is between "overcharges" and  "excessive" charges.
If there isn't one, give me your opinion on why this  analyst would say such a stupid thing.
Second, give me one reason why the  lead is journalistically incorrect, and one why it is gramatically  unattractive.
Then you get details.

Subject: EES Deal Changes 3/1

I have made the following adjustment to our EPMI sales to EES on 3/1 at SP-15.
534313 - existing fixed price forward sale - volumes have been reduced by 18  mw per hour  559314 - new index sale added and backdated (2/28)  to reflect 18 mw off peak  hours 559316 - new index sale added and backdate (2/28) to reflect 18 mw on peak  hours  Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this change.
At the  end of last month Short Term California handed responsibility of Dow Jones  index sales over to the Short Term West Services desk; unfortunately the  exact date of change-over was miscommunicated, and the index sale was not  entered for 3/1.
However, the total MWh of EPMI's sale to EES should not  change for 3/1.
Also, you should see the new volumes reflected in the EES  daily volumes worksheet which I will send later this afternoon.
Thanks for your patience,
Subject: Dow Jones Index 3-26

The attached document contains the EPMI average prices for all delivery  points for Sun., March 25, and Mon., March 26.
Please let me know if you have  any problems opening the document or reading it.
The worksheet should look  identical to the fax I send each day.
An additional worksheet shows a detail  of each deal volume and price.
I'm in the habit of excluding the counterparty  names (to save time) because I'm the only one who looks at this sheet  normally; but if you'd like me to start e-mailing instead of faxing the  prices I will begin entering the counterparty names as well.
Thanks,
Subject: Deal Changes - No confirm

Just wanted to give you an update on my progress so far - I'm changing these  deals in between each of my other daily tasks, and I'm also having a hard  time reading some of the deal numbers.
I've made it through the first page  and a bit of the second.
I've changed all but four of the deals to "no  confirm."
Here are the questions I have on those deals:  1.
552516 - why are we not confirming a City of Riverside deal?
Should I ask  Jeff?
2.
553037 - looks like it's already "no confirm"  3.
553666/667/668 - are we not confirming any deals where PGE is the  counterparty?
I thought it was just where PGE System was the delivery point?
4.
553926 - this deal is killed.
Do we have to change settings on killed  deals as well?
Also, if you have a slightly bigger copy of the document you faxed over, or  if you could e-mail it to me, that would save me a lot of guessing time.
Thanks for your help!
Subject: energy type

These deals were entered today under STWH desk - Geir and Mark show as the  traders on them, but I have a feeling that's incorrect as I haven't seem them  around this morning.
Might let the guys know that when they trade at  California delivery points - NP15, SP15, ZP26 - the energy firmness should be  specified as CAISO firm.
Thanks,
Subject: EPMI Index Prices 3/27

Following are EPMI weighted average trade prices for Tues., March 27.

Subject: Unauthorized use of Houston Pipe Line Company Name

Mark,  I would appreciate it if you could get back to me as soon as possible on the issue of Enron's continued use of the HPL name on the EOL documents.
In my letter of September 27th,  I had requested Enron remedy this situation by October 1st but that has not happened.
I'm sure you can appreciate our interest in resolving this matter promptly, so please let me hear from you as soon as possible.

Subject: Staff Meeting 10/4

Mark -  Just a few quick notes from yesterday's staff meeting (items you should know about):  Enron Direct -	Appears to be really ramping up.
Currently using TaletTree and Saliens (sp?)
(temp/consulting agencies) for sales personnel to lower end of mkt.
Goal by 10/15 to have all commodity/tariff curves in EES database 		Looking to also load customer profile information for approx.
22K customers 		In sync with Canadian efforts and looking at Toronto as a bigger mkt than Calgary  Beth pointed out Corp. contractual commitment to Ernst & Young of $60MM annually and suggestion to consider them for consulting services.
Currently Corp. spend is approx.
$40MM annually.
Pipeling software products - 	Have contract with Luminent for marketing 				Enron gets 100% of license fees and continues to own products (including all enhancements) 				Luminent gets opportunity to do all integration 				Product price is $500,000  Jay indicated Kiodex transaction data fee is up and ready for operation.
Waiting for Kiodex to be ready to go live.
The Kiodex product will appear as a "Risk Report" button inside of EOL.
Mention was made of the "layoffs" in Europe, but Greg indicated it may not be much of an impact on ENW personnel presuming the level of support for existing businesses remains constant.
Nothing else in particular was discussed.
Tom and I did have an opportunity to speak about some CommodityLogic items subsequent to the staff meeting.
His big concern remains the speed with which we are able to produce amendment documents for counterparties, especially in light of the fact that Greg now wants weekly reports on the progress of these amendments - from Tom.
I worked with Brent, Bob and Kathryn Cordes yesterday on a possible short term solution that may at least enable the CommodityLogic marketing personnel to put a base amendment form (not to be signed) in front of counterparties.
The base amendment form would clearly indicate that additional information was necessary before an agreement was reached.
This would be followed up by the actual "guts" of the legal confirm language.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything else.
