1 Woman, 2 (or more) Companies, over $1.5 million

So back in March, I came across this article from the KC Star detailing a woman's theft of $300k from the company she worked/ managed payroll for.

http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/crime/article66199102.html

Most of the money, per the article, went to trips and gambling (I'm going to guess trips to gamble myself).  

Being both a Finance and Accounting dork and a writer naturally I saved the article (thank you Pinterest's ability to let me electronically horde)

Then today this dandy bit hit.  Same woman.  Previous employer.  $1.2 million from them doing the same thing.  Oh, and a bit of identity theft.  

http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/crime/article79582592.html

She apparently started this 'habit' years early when she forged checks at a retirement community (which is what John Knox Village is).  She pled guilty of that crime.  This, of course, makes me wonder about the accuracy of vetting employees in some companies.

Yes, I've saved the second article as well.

Wow. Someone who has pled guilty to embezzling over $3000 should not be hired for a job that  gives her access to over one million dollars. Even if they knew her record and believed she was a recovering gambling addict, they should have had mulitiple safeguards in place to keep an eye on her. I'm no accountant, but YIKES!

      I was returning a blu-ray last week and walked in the door to hear a guy screaming about "that crazy bitch."  Then security hustled him out the door.  The kids aren't allowed to run or yell either.  It's surprising they are maintaining some standards.

      The most tense place I have ever been is a Holocaust Museum where several people were being disrespectful and a brawl broke out right next to me. This was maybe the 3rd HM we have visited. I told my husband that’s enough. No more of those. I know what happened and have seen enough. 

      I work at a library and I can tell you that no one behaves the way they used to, especially the kids. We are supposed to let them just be themselves, meanwhile sometimes it is a circus. I'm so glad I don't work in the public area anymore because it used to get me so angry. If you let them run around and do what they want, how are they going to behave elsewhere? And what will happen when they get older? How can they learn? Now, I'm not saying we need absolute silence but there are people who are trying to study and like the library as a quiet and peaceful place.

      The worst case of this was at Anne Franks house 2 years ago. Everyone respectfully murmurs - same as in a library. A group of high school aged children were running through the rooms and watching stuff on mobile phones with the volume on. Not one teacher said anything. They were there! 
      A few visitors did have a word with them. Things didn’t improve though.

      Whatever the results were for the recent scan...if it was showing the cancer shrinking to nothing, they'd be shouting the good news from the rooftops, right? 

      My recent experiences with MRI were that the results were read by the radiologist and posted in the patient portal within a day or two and I assume other scans would be equally speedy.
