Nick (11:12 a.m.)
and he’s already agreed to go out but you know when it’s just me and terry we both get blackout drunk. remember a few years ago when we woke up in a field and you had to come find us?
Jenna May (11:14 a.m.)
Point taken. Don’t go drinking with Terry without a babysitter.
I’ll be back in town on Monday, think you can survive until then?
Has Max been spamming you with pictures yet? Because my lil baby niece is adorable??
Nick (11:16 a.m.)
max sent me pictures. you sent me pictures. your mom sent me pictures. my mom sent me pictures. my phone is nothing but pictures of your niece.
Jenna May (11:18 a.m.)
Well you’re welcome
Why do you need a night out btw?
Nick typed “Brady” before deleting it. It was true, he was feeling lonely because he’d lost a friend over a misunderstanding, but he didn’t really want to havethatlecture from Jenna again.
Nick (11:20 a.m.)
because my coworkers suck and i need to decompress before my head explodes
i need you guys to convince me not to quit
Jenna May (11:25 a.m.)
Nick.
Nickolas.
Nickolas Jakob Porter.
Like I know you’re kidding but like maybe you should quit?? You hate your job and it stresses me out seeing how much it stresses you out
Whoops. In an effort to avoid a Brady-related lecture, he’d fallen into a work-related one.
Nick (11:30 a.m.)
obviously i was kidding i’m not going to quit that’s crazy
Jenna May (11:32 a.m.)
how is it crazy to quit a job you hate??
Nick (11:32 a.m.)
everyone hates their job
Jenna May (11:32 a.m.)
I don’t hate my job.
Nick rolled his eyes and ignored her. Of course Jenna didn’t hate her job. She worked at a museum. She had acooljob. No one had ever lied and told him accounting would be fun; he’d known what he’d been getting himself into. What was quitting going to do, anyway? He’d just end up with a similar job somewhere else, but without the seniority he’d acquired over the past few years.
