As I sit here at my desk with an office running at about a 70 percent vacancy rate, the last couple days have really turned the week around for women. Sure us guys started the week on manly notes with the Home Run Derby and All-Star Game, then finished it off with the release of Batman: The Dark Knight.
But women have come back the second half of the week, as the anticipated premier of “Project Runway” was on Wednesday night, thus dominating all water-cooler/hallway/lavatory conversations on Thursday. And now my office is barely occupied by the few men who actually work here. You see, it’s the first day of Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale. Women mark this day on their calendar like it’s their birthday, using a vacation day, calling in “sick” or just getting up at the crack of dawn to get a couple of hours of shopping in before dragging ass at work. Check out the chick stampede at the Downtown Seattle Nordstrom’s here in the picture…be careful, those Starbucks can be used as weapons!
Actually it’s been kind of nice, I’ve been especially productive for a Friday. But now I’m going to grab a beer and kick-start my weekend. Hope everyone has a good one.
