KC,
Your iPod is set for automatic update, connect it back to your home PC and it will reload what is on there. If you want to use your iPod on two computers you need to change the update preference to "manually manage songs and playlists"
See here for more information: "Using iPod with multiple computers" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61675
Just a note but you should post your questions in threads of your own, you are more likely to get a quick answer that way and they won't get lost or confuse the original post
For info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.
