fashionable start

Susan has started her new job at Nordstrom, which is great for her as she’s finally in the career field that she cares about – unlike, say, government contracts. As an additional bonus, she only has to commute about 2 miles – about the same distance as me – so we can both snicker at the people who drive an hour each way. Nordstrom just built a huge ultra-fancy on an already upscale Burlington Mall, and apparently their investment paid off: the place was mobbed on opening day.

Her employee discount is one of the perks that comes with the job... too bad it’s not something I can take advantage of. If I do find myself in the need of new clothes (which doesn’t happen often), Nordstrom is not really at the top of my shopping list.
