I thought you (and the rest of ATI) might appreciate this. It's especially
|
|
funny considering they're sending them to activist listservs.

part iii
|
|
|
|
|
|
You're starting to realize what they'll do because it's
|
|
the third or fourth person of at least nine that this has
|
|
happened to in front of you.
|
|
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. Heck, when Oliver North who's at least 500%
|
|
more corrupt than Radio Shack could EVER be,
|

MEMORY LANE:

|
|
|
Activist Times, Incorporated (ATI): Unlike the
|
|
other electronically distributed publications,
|
|
ATI does not limit itself to strictly computer/

telephone news. Articles normally include commentary

on world and government events, and other "general
|
|
interest" topics.
|
|
ATI issues are generally small and consist of articles
|
|
written by a core group of four to seven people. Unlike
|
|
the publications discussed thus far, ATI is available in
|
|
printed "hard copy" form by sending postage reimbursement
|
|
to the editor. ATI is currently on their 38th issue.

GUITAR AMBASSADOR'S WISHES FINALLY GRANTED
|
|
|
|
LINARES, Spain -- Andres Segovia died fifteen years ago.
|
|
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.

"Yeah, it took a turn. She's giving herself a 'cameo.'"

"No way, and they agreed to it? Don't tell me she's going

"Sorta. But I think it might've turned out good. Real good."
