You find out next that she's been moved to another part of the same state and like you she's now in charge of half a dozen people below her. What? Parallel to you? Woah. Another similar incident, you go to the same "her:" "Lemme have him, I'll take care of him." This time you'd gotten to know him a little. Kept in touch through the years. Lo and behold they moved him to a different state and he's no in charge of you really, but way up higher than you in the "chain of command," so to speak. Yes, I said "chain." Years or decades ago, most companies weren't run like military wannabes. But these days more and more are. A military structure can get rid of bureaucracy but not corruption. Remember that -- you might need it some day. A corporation run this way just might as well be called a paramilitary like the Boy Scouts or the KKK but I digress. Radio Shack had what was called "stealing." Your store's shrinkage could not be above 6% a third month in a row or "Texas" would come up and audit the hell out of you. No one I know had ever suffered one of these audits, but it was one of those scenes NO ONE wanted to find out about. Hence, stealing. The store I was an A.M. to usually hovered between 2% and 4%, so we were seldom on the receiving end, but often the "giver." "You've got a pickemup truck, right Prime?" "Yeah." "I have some items that need to go to store #432. Load up these items from the stockroom and deliver them. Take the whole day, I'll clock you out." He said he'd float me a few small commissions too, from batteries and telephones throughout the day so I didn't have a big hole in my afternoon or evening. After a while I was entrusted with the phone call itself. "Radio Shack #435, Prime Anarchist speaking, how may I help you, sir or ma'am." So the voice on the other end is "we're at 5ish for the month. How're you looking?" "Not sure," I tell him, "I'll check." "Hey boss, how are we looking this month?" Store #408 is over 5ish again." "One or two," my boss tells me, "give 'em whatever the heck they need." This time around it was something like seven Tandy TX computers, six SX's, five telephones, four shortwave radios, three discontinued turntables, two microphones and a partridge family promotional record album. Well, something like that. Not precisely, but I assure you, it was in the low thousands. The lowest I'd ever conspired to "steal" was high hundreds. Last I checked, a felony in NY, CT, RI areas was theft over 300. I'm sure it's higher now, but surely not quite into the thousands. Anyways this was stealing but not quite that kind of stealing. Or is it? Yeah. Ask me then, I didn't know. Ask me now? That's why I'm writing this up. So every other month or so a store would steal enough from our store to bring us nearer to 6% but never over. [finish later] Theirs would go under 6 by stealing from us and/or another store or two. Thousands of dollars every other month or so just floating around from store to store well by itself in a vacuum it probably doesn't look so bad, but lets look at a couple other things here at Radio Theft. Tandy Corpse. Realistic. Pilferage 'r' Us before we tumble the whole house of cards. Now I know there's going to be hardly any outrage to speak of from the mainstream here.

The master classical guitarist was finally brought back to his hometown as he wished. Exhumed from the Madrid cemetery where he was first buried, Segovia's remains were brought to Linares in Jaen province, the heart of Spain's olive-growing region. Hailed the world over as the greatest classical guitarist of the 20th century, Segovia died at 94 years old in 1987. People say he elevated the guitar from a lowly bar instrument to one played on classical concert stages around the world, garnering as much respect as the violin or piano. Segovia once said it was always a goal of his to "separate the guitar from mindless, folklore-type entertainment." Town hall officials said his widow Emilia avoided moving his body to Linares, even though it was his wish, until a proper resting place was prepared. They refurbished a 16th-century palace to house the musician's remains and a museum dedicated to his life and work. A wake was scheduled for Monday night with a burial on Tuesday. Emilia de Segovia led the funeral cortege that left Madrid Monday. Awaiting in Linares was 32-year-old Carlos Segovia, the only survivor among Segovia's four children. The Segovia museum will feature sheet music written by Segovia, suits he wore while performing, medals he won and a favorite guitar nicknamed "La Nina." If anyone finds any old sheetmusic that Segovia was working on prior to the bombing of Guernica, please just slip it under the door. No questions will be asked.
