Sorry for such a dramatic title.
....Let me explain...
Today I leared that my beloved Nordstrom in Orem is closing. That place has been my favorite stop when I go home to visit. I spent many hours there shopping and working to pay for my college tuition. Orem Nordstrom is also the place Jordan proposed to me. As I gathered all my special memories I realized that working at Nordstrom was my favorite job I have ever had.
Well, that thought led to thinking about all my other jobs I have had which brought me to the conclusion that I have the touch of death. Almost every company I have worked for has gone out of business shortly after I work there.
See for yourself:
Swank Jewelry...My sister started a little shop in the mall a few years ago, it only stayed open for a few months.
Limited Too....Went out of business
Shade...Went out of business (I heard they are reopening though)
Hogi Yogi...The one I worked at went out of business, and I am pretty sure all the other locations are closing too.
Western Watts...I think the whole company went under, but the one I worked at is completely GONE!
Nordstrom...ALMOST GONE
National Future Benefits...Almost Out of Business, I think they are only open because they have a few clients left.
Epiphany Media Centers...Out of business
The only companies I have worked for that are actually still running are: The Post Register Newspaper and eBay. Want to know the crazy thing about the PR and eBay? Both companies went down in revenue once I started working. :o
So there you have it. I am cursed.
Didn't Jordan propose to you at Nordstrom???
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness he did! How did I forget that!?! That is probably the best memory I have there....time to edit the post. thank you bj.
ReplyDeleteRachel that is so bizarre! I still am in shock that Nordstroms is leaving Utah county---so sad! You have contributed to so many companies and they were better off because you worked there!!!
