Oh oh.  That is sad.  Very sad.  It may mean you are very sick, too.   :-)
 TC> Too bad you don't work for Radio Shack.
I used to.  What an experience.  Always wanted to work at Radio Shack.  For 
20 years, I wanted to work at Radio Shack.  Then back in 1990, waiting for 
Book2 to to be published, I had little to do, and a friend who manages a RS 
store asked me to come work part time.  I did.  What an experience.  HE got 
transferred a few weeks later and was replaced by an imbecile.  I finally 
left in disgust and disillusionment.  In a word, Radio Shack is a very 
glitzy, star- spangled company to the outsider looking in.  But once on the 
inside, man, I can tell you it is plumb evil.  Vile.  Foul.  Don't get me 
started......

That's the odd thing.  Employees don't know beans about things like that, and 
are admonished and sometimes fired for prying too deeply.  They are not 
supposed to know.  The employee's job is to SELL, SELL, SELL.........
