Bad news that your store will be closed, but yes, maybe it's also a chance, a good opportunity to make a dream come true! I'm sure you can do everything you want to do, so good luck and all the best!!! :)
Thanks! I spent yesterday and today telling each of my staff members they are losing their job, answering their questions, assuring them, then doing the whole thing again for the next person. Very depressing. BUT!!..I have been on the internet a lot this evening and I can't believe all the writing opportunities! I hope I can do it!
I'm so sorry you got bad news! :( I didn't think for one moment you were being rude! We all have lives outside of the internet (although if things go the way I hope - MORE of my life will be on the internet).
The terrific thing is that the other patrons in the mall have really rallied around us. I was hired just about four months ago and all my staff is newer than me! Everyone from the other stores keep dropping by and saying, "Is it really true you're closing? You just got here! Well, we're looking for part-time people" or "You mean you're ALL out of work? I don't know if you're interested..."
So far, offers have come from the hardware store, the children's clothing store, the insurance agent, the dry cleaners and one of the employees of another store in the mall may have gotten one of my staff on at his other job - a hotel.

I think the Universe is kicking you in the pants with this one! Take the chance!

I keep waffling from "YAH!" to "...oh my god, what am I thinking..?..."
Thank you for the back-up "YAH"!

Nice to live in a small town, I guess~ :)
