FREAK OUT!

So I am finishing my lunch shift today and let the boss know I was leaving in October to finish my classes and get on with my nursing. They called everyone together and announced that the store is closing after lunch tomorrow for good!!! Fuck! I timed that perfectly! I feel sorry for the people in the kitchen and people with kids though. Anyone ever just show up for work and it was closed, or have them announce it to you like that? This is the second time in my 30 year career as a server/bartender/cook.
I have a shift tonight and the lunch shift tomorrow that I need to go to. There was a mention of some kind of severance if one has been there more than a year, it would have been 2 in October, so I am working these last 2 shift to see what it is, and I don't want to be the dick that just don't show up. Hell, it's only 2 m ore and I could possibly get another 200-250 bucks for my shifts.

That's rough but not terrible timing for you it sounds. What are you trying to do with nursing? I am currently also going into the nursing field and have been taking the prereq courses to get into accelerated bsn programs with my previous degree. Should be fun cant wait to wipe some ass.

I have a 2 year asn degree and I am taking a refresher course to qualify for the state boards (RN) again, I have my LPN but let it lapse when I moved to CO. The course will reinstate my LPN and Ill get a job with that, then when I pass the RN I'll be set. The state boards are a bitch for me. This will refresh me though! Good luck!

NO kidding! *WHEW!* Close call! Luckily I have a plan and a cushion. Car is paid off and all my CC debt is paid, and my fico score is 817, I'm in a good place.

yea this happened to me once, at my first job actually..
worked there for 1 year, the boss lady was an old lady just ready to retire, told all the 5 of the employees.
it was like 4 stores in one, radioshack, hallmark, att, and flower store... she told us do whatever it took to get rid of all the merchandise..
this was awesomeI sold 3 subwoofers a cell phone and a stereo for 50 bucks lol the deals we were givving people were incredible, was a lot of fun working there until the close.. was a really fun job.. eventually after the close was final she had me stick around to play checkers with other old peoplle with her, which she still paid me for. didn't feel right, so i just split one day..
