Purple Snowflakes...

As much as I hate to admit this, I went back to the GAP for the holiday season. I needed the extra cash since my primary job couldn't afford to give us the normal 3% raise. Every Christmas season, for the past 4 years I heard a song called 'Purple Snowflakes'. I always thought that it was by Jimmy Hendrix--just because it was called Purple Snowflakes. Get it purple snowflakes, *clearing my throat* purp. Anyway, after some googling, I found out that it was by the legendary Marvin Gaye! I should have known this because Jimmy Hendrix never sung a ballet and there isn't a guitar to be found. Aside from This Christmas by Donny Hathaway, this is one of my favorites!

Enjoy!

An Ode to the Gap

Today was my last official day at the Gap at Robinson. Its such a bittersweet moment for me. All of the friends that I have made there, customers I've helped, things that I've learned. Even though the stores' whole dynamic had changed, it still was a home to me. When I was down and out, they fed me, put quality clothes on my back--at a discount, but most of all they supported me--both financially and mentally. The things that I learned there prepared me for the position that I have today.

I can honestly say that Gap, Inc. is one of the best companies that I have worked for. I miss my discount already, and thinking about going back for the holidays.
