I personally wouldn't have a beef with the owners closing a business, per se. Unless it was a case, where it was one time where I worked, where the president of the company siphoned money off to the point where it went bankrupt (and you just can't tell me that a stretch limo and 10 carat ring for his wife was absolutely necessary for a graphic design firm to survive and be successful).
Anywho, my beef was the day they decided to have as the last day. What a crappy event to have synonymous with such a happy day. Kinda like choosing Christmas to be the day you tell little Johnny that his pet dog didn't REALLY run away, but instead was pulverized by a Semi-truck one street over. Or telling the missus that you're having an affair. You get the idea.
This is going to be something that MsKiwi always thinks about EVERY Christmas. Even ten years from now, the two are probably inextricably linked - Christmas and unemployment.
OMG Wonderin, pulverized by a semi? I had to literally LOL Thanks for making me laugh on my last day at work. I told my boss no thanks to working tomorrow, I just don't have it in me. I consider myself a strong person, but I think I would spend much of the day crying and I am not pretty when my nose is a red swollen mess. LOL

Don't worry. GM is closing up shop on St. Paddy's Day, Chrysler is shutting down Memorial Day, and Ford is closing doors Thanksgiving. It's all part of a new business model. [Before someone clicks Mod Abuse, I'm not serious. No one yet knows whether they'll make it to those "pull out" dates.]
This made me chuckle. You have a wickedly fantastic sense of humor.
