Look, I know that there’s a lot of you Dopers out there that hate The Gap, and really I can understand why, I used to work for them, so I know all about the place. In any case, when I worked there, I bought stock in the company because it kept going up and we got a good deal on it. Well, now Gap’s stock is in the toilet, I’m unemployed, and since my last employer can’t seem to be bothered to mail my last paycheck out, I’m forced to sell my stock in order to have enough money so that I can pay my house note this month (and maybe have enough money leftover to eat on). Which, of course, means only one thing: Shortly after I sell my stock, The Gap will come out with something that turns its sagging sales around and the stock will instantly shoot through the roof. I hope you guys can forgive me. (I’m putting this in The Pit in case you can’t.)
Hey - I like the Gap.
I thought this year’s Huttons were swell.
I’m kinda hoping that they’ll do away with the rediculous, barely cover your snatch hair pants though. Unless your 12, it’s just not a pretty thing.
Too bad about yer stock though. 
I hope you find work soon.
Sorry to hear about your tough times, my friend. I hope things turn around for you.
best of luck.
Thanks for the support, folks. And I just wanna say to all the stock market “experts” out there, “I didn’t sell my stock for fear of accounting problems! I’m unemployed!” (I sold my shares today and the market tanked again, but IT’S NOT MY FAULT!!!)
Personally, I like the Gap. I like their jeans, t-shirts, and belts. Sorry their stock is not doing well. At least you have the stock to sell. I hope you find the perfect job soon.
Best of luck.

It seemed appropriate.
I’ve done my bit to help GAP stock. I liked this year’s Huttons enough I bought two pairs. I’m also fond of their fitted camisoles and T-shirts.
