Holy smokes, I am officially getting a bunch of shit on discount.
There have been 4 places I always said I would work at. I distinctly remember writing the places down in this notebook I had. It might still be in my memory box, but I swear I just wrote them on some paper when I was bored.
Anyway, on the list, I wrote (in order): Indigo, Sears, Gap, and Abercrombie & Fitch.
I said that these are all the places I want to work. It was literally my dream to work at these places, and in order, my retail experience has been (in order), Indigo Spirit, Sears Yorkdale, and now Gap at Yorkdale... can you believe it??? I can't either. I could understand working in those places in a mixed order, but it was sequential and identical to my list!
I'm not so sure about A&F anymore, but I still want to work there so I can buy their clothes on discount. I like the jeans. Anyway, I now work for Gap, and I'm ecstatic, because all I wanted to do was work at Gap after I met Mvb. He worked there for 3 years! And after knowing this and seeing his entire wardrobe filled with Gap clothing, all I wanted was to be like him (as geeky as it sounds). I look up to the people around me, I try to emulate them in ways, and in all the ways he's inspired me (picking up my guitar more often, other things lol) this was one of them.
I always wanted to make my boyfriend proud (when I got one) by having a status that they could readily share with anyone without feeling weird, and I had fairly regular ones before I believe. Better than most, right? But now, who ever he is can say that I go to York, and I work at Gap. I have a status. And it gets better every time, and this is truly the only thing I want in life (aside from the essentials, like love, and a puppy).
As you can see, Gap is more than just a job to me, it's a lifestyle I'm evolving into. I absolutely cannot wait to tell everyone to come to my Gap to buy things, or otherwise I'm anxious for people to use me for my discount to buy things. Especially Christmas time! Thank you so much Moad!
