Tower Records is shutting down...me out of a job




So it may come to no surprise to lots of you...but Tower Records, the company I have been working for since June 05, is finally going out of business as announced today. I have refrained from talking about this matter publicly on my blog, but hey...what are they going to do, fire me??

From the employee aspect, it's not really a big deal, it just sucks that I have to REALLY look for any job at this point. Anything because I can't talk to the Illinois Department of Employment Security (long story, but i'm SOL with them). From the customer aspect, it really sucks because this is where I used to get my import CD singles and latin new releases from. U know not everything is carried by Target, BEst Buy or Wal-Mart. Whenever a new Daniela ROmo compilation (they release a new one every year), Tower would be the only store to have it the day of.

Oh well, I will survive. If anyone out there in Chicago knwos of any jobs, please let me know. I can do retail, coffee shops..I'm qualified for administrative work such as reception, data entry or even mail room duties.

Thanks dude and wish me luck on my rampant job search. Tower will definitel be gone by Halloween. On the bright side, expect "Going Out Of Business" sales soon.

I was just watchin a story about this on the news. That sucks. I wonder if the gay porn will be on sale? I hope you get a job soon!

oh noes! GOOD LUCK FINDING A NEW JOB! if nothing else, this will serve as good motivation, right?

and i wonder if theyll close teh one on hollywood here... i oved going into that one!

Since I moved downtown I had been doing more shopping at Virgin or ordering online but I will still miss Tower. Will the DVD's be on sale too? Maybe this is the perfect time to get the Simpsons seasons 5-8 (9?).

Chava is right though. This will serve as good motivation. In fact, I think you should really take advantage of this and maybe finally start deciding what you want to put all of your talents to work for the rest of your life. Maybe you could even go back to school! The sky's the limit and as a very very wise and super diva world icon once said "are you ready to jump?"
