hey all. well things are still the same here...looking for work. but now there is a little wrench thrown into the socket. i accepted a job at the pastry shop "BitterSweet" after my "working interview" and then realized i absolutely don't want to work for that kiss the customer's ass while rolling your eyes type of place, and that i can just get a job through a temp agency just as easily. so, i called her back on sunday to say i wouldn't be able to work over the holidays so she should find someone else to fill the position and i got guilted in to going in to train for 3 days this week to cover next weekends saturday and sunday shift because there isn't anyone to fill them right now. i'm too nice and sooooooo weak. i don't owe them a thing after already donating 7 hours of free labor, and it's going to be so uncomfortable going in there, but of course i will. right now i'm just praying (you know it's serious if i'm praying), that they call me back and say they found someone else. i'm scared of them. they're mean. ahh, the drama. why can't it be exciting boy drama? why stupid work drama? aye, yaye, yaye (how do you type that expression out?)!!!!!

bern says hi to everyone as her computer use time is limited. we had a good weekend at a halloween party on friday. i went at mrs. roper from three's company and bern went as a flower child. it wasn't quite as scandalous or fun as being with you all last year, but we're managing. bern's friends are a lot of fun. she's still scared of mine, but we'll all hang out soon i hope. once i start working we hope to throw a big party.

that's about it here. my sister jennie is coming to visit in two weeks and today i'm looking for jobs and doing grad stuff, big surprise.

love you all, j
