what $400?
wow, it’s been a long time since i’ve written. Ironically though, there’s not too much for me to say. I’m still working at barnes and noble, although there was an incident that put that in to question last week. I got a call on my day off that a $400 pickup (an envelope of money) that i did the day before was missing. Now, there are a few ways that it could have gone missing. I could have left it out somewhere instead of putting it in the safe and a customer could have taken it. The guy, John, who i did the pickkup for could have taken it…or he could have gotten my supervisor numbers and forged the pickup and taken it. Or the manager who took all the pickups to the back at the end of the night could have dropped it. But it’s a lot of money so i was very very worried for the next few days. Then, the other day, the loss prevention person and district manager came to the store and i was expecting this big interrogation but they didn’t talk to me at all. I found out after they left that john got fired for stealing from the company. We still don’t know what happened to the pickup, but a customer called the district managre and complained that she bought a gift card and went to use it the same day and it was empty. John had stolen the number off the gift card and used it. Apparently they think he’s been stealiing from the company for years. And he gets cought on 30 dollars. hehehe…so i’m sort of off the hook cause we’re kind of assumnig that he took the pickup.
what else what else…i’ve been kind of..i don’t know…like, id on’t know what i want to do with my life still and it’s bothering me.
but otherwise, i’m happy :). Tom and i are doing very well. Neither of us have money to get an apartment but when we do, we will.
Hrmm…i think that’s it. I miss you guys so much! I hope everyone is doing well. I’ll talk to you all soon.

Jen,your pickup story sounds like something out of a Nancy Drew novel! I’m glad it all turned out alright(at least for the time being!) Speaking of mysteries of sorts, have you read Da Vinci Code yet? I hate reading books just because they’re popular, but I was incredibly bored on vacation and my mom had a copy, so I read it–400+ pages in less than 24 hours!! Sooo good. Inspired me to learn about European history and such! Anyways, I’m dying to know how you–or anyone else out there who’s read it–feels about the book. How are Otto and Lily doing?
