I get asked this question all the time referring to me working at Nordstrom. I always answer no because I love what I am doing now. Well on Tuesday night I was reminded of the thing that I most definitely do not miss INVENTORY!! I don't know what was wrong with me when I told my Mom I would come help her because everyone who has worked with me at Nordstrom knows I really really don't like inventory. I do have to say that it isn't as bad when you don't have to do all the preparation work. I think if it was back in the good ole days I would miss it. If your wondering what the good ole days were let me remind you
Nicole-being the absolute best merchandiser and manager ever! Not even kidding she was the absolute best person to learn the role from.
Karissa- sneezing 25 times no lie every morning around 9 am. I stopped saying bless you and just laughed. Or the time when we couldn't figure out the inventory count sheet for the life of us.
Brittany- Thinking she is pregnant every month and our husbands equal love for the Cowboys. Also when she was so depressed about lowering her limit on her Nordstrom card so she could control her shopping habit
Kelly- having quite possibly the worlds largest hold. I would tell her she had to cut it down and I'm telling you taking out 2-3 items was a big deal.
Jamie- getting us all obsessed with the Silver pioneers because they were cute long BP denim
Alli- discussing our wedding plans and being the accessory buying queen
Deb- The worlds best stock girl ever. Basically the BP Mom
Shawni- being obsessed with her tiger bracelet
I also have to mention things like BP video, scrapbook promotions, knowing that anything left in your box was fair game even if it was your first day on the job (sorry Jess that we ate all your candy), The rush of helping LP catch a shop lifter, and Debbie's morning announcements.
These were such fun times. I loved all 6 years I worked at Nordstrom. I have made some of my best friends there and could laugh for hours reminiscing. So here's to the good ole Nordy girls I love and miss you all. (we should have a reunion at a store opening or something someday)

That made my day! I was laughing so hard! And for your information, I haven't been sneezing that much lately. I think I was just allergic to Nordstrom.
Love this post! Good memories. Don't forget customers like Canchi wanting "BP CAMI IN TREETOP and CHA CHA"
oh I miss those days, i don't think if i worked at Nordstrom again, it would ever be that fun, definitely some good times. If you are coming to AZ in March for sure contact me, I would love to try and get together.
teresa...i haven't been up on poeple's blogs lately, but just happened to click on yours, and found this lovely post. you are too sweet...i can only hope that i was half as good at bp manager as you made me out to be! i love you. and reading this post made me kinda miss it too...just a little bit!
sounds like you all had some good times together....nice of you to help your mom with inventory too!
haha.. you love those jeans. they were great! I am lucky to live close to you and still be able to see you wear them!!! You can come help me anytime!!!
hahahahahaha... 2-3 items was a HUGE deal, ok?!?! Oh my gosh, thank you SO much for this post. Deb was for sure the BP mom. What GOOD times!! I love it. I liked Kels's comment... WHAT THE HECK? WHAT COLOR IS CHA CHA?!? haha!! And yes, EVERYTHING in our boxes was TOTAL free game to everyone! Lip gloss, pictures, candy, food, water from downstairs (which we got every hour pretty much)... Oh man. Im dying.
