Northern Natural Gas
I will be starting a short-term contract with Northern Natural Gas next week to help clean up an internal application and lay down some UI groundwork for a longer term consolidation effort. Effectively a survivor of the Enron debacle (or maybe they were just purchased by one of the fragmented companies that came out of Enron), NNG supplies natural gas from Texas to Lake Superior.
I’ll be working at their headquarters in Omaha, which should be interesting. I’ve heard good things about the work environment, but suspect the internal IT projects are underfunded with poorly implemented incentives around the business unit… which is pretty status quo for IT in my experience. Either way, this will keep me busy through at least the first week or two of September, which is good. With a little luck I’ll have the consulting business up to speed by the time this contract runs out.
