Well, as the starter of this thread, I felt it appropriate to post this.
On August 31st, the owner of the business I have worked for the past 21 years, will lock the doors, and will not be opening them on September 1st, or ever again.
A lot of blood, sweat, tears, and ass kissing as I climbed the ladder over the years. And now, to be kicked right off the ladder...oh well.
We certainly hung in there as long as we could, but in the end, the family owned business just can't go head to head with the superstore when it comes to big ticket items. Think "Home Depot" vs. "The Neighborhood Hardware Store".
So now I am a victim of the economy...but when one door closes, another opens...right?
Now, about those boat payments, fees for valet service, and the annual lease on the land for camp....
