It was a pretty rough day Saturday. I woke up at 6 A.M. to take Brandon to the airport, but who knew there were such great jams on the radio that early such as "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" by Whitney Houston and the Leann Rimes classic "Can't Fight the Moonlight". Two of my faves, and I'm not even being sarcastic. Probably that's the only thing that kept me awake. Anyways so back to the first story...
I was at work Saturday afternoon and I am taking a small Mexican woman back to the dressing room and she says to me, "How many months do you have?" and I look at her real confused and say "what?" and her eyes get big and she says "OH! Are you pregnant?" and I said, "umm nope." and she was so embarrassed but REALLLY!? I was wearing a t-shirt and a cardigan with jeans and sassy blue ankle boots. My t-shirt was a little baggy so I'm thinking she thought so from that but that is something you just NEVER GUESS AT. It's never a good day when someone mistakes you for a pregnant woman. Oh and I'm going to the gym every day this week.
A much funnier story though was the case of the missing leather jacket. We figured out we were missing a leather jacket from my department and i didn't think anything of it till the flamboyant gay Asian man from fragrances, Joseph, came up (we need a description here, he was wearing tight tweed pants, a wide red leather belt, a scarf, a plaid hat, a tight black shirt, and red platform boots, most likely all of this was designer, one of his many intricate outfits) and talked to me before we closed and said in his cute little gay Asian accent, "Did you kno i caught the guy who stole your leather jaackket??" and so he told me the story and i wish i could have recorded him telling me this. He said, "I saw the guy and at first i was just like oooh he's cute you know haaahaha and then i said okay maybe someone from the rack is helpeen him and then i saw heem walk past accessories and say maybe he not gonna pay for it so i shortcut through handbags and say escuuuze me! and he walk really fast so he start to run and i say essscuzza meee!! and so i chase him halfway to Carabbas and the whole time i was theenking not in these shoes! and then a big guy says is that guy shoplifting and i say yes yes please get him! and he was an ex-cop so the cop chase him and catch him! I know we not supposed to do that but people can't get away with theese theengs! I been here 15 years and they can't get past me!"
It made my whole week. The flaming Asian of Nordstrom fighting crime. Please picture this guy chasing a thief through the parking lot "EESSCUUUZZZE MEEE!!" Next time you are sad this week think of this happy little man protecting his beloved company. :) Have a great week!
