Day After Submitting Letter

I came into work yesterday (one day after I submitted my letter), turned on my computer and discovered that the Outlook Express icon for my mailbox had vanished. I began panicking, sure that I had been removed from the company emailing system. I assumed this to be the first sign that I would soon be deleted from my company. I tried to weigh all the possibilities, but my mind kept going back to the worst possible scenario: fired. I figured I would be escorted out of my company at any minute. At about this time my co-worker came to my desk and explained that IT had upgraded our mail application. He walked me through the process of reinstalling the new software. Relief isn't quite the word. Ecstatic, overjoyed, thrilled is more fitting. I was happy that my fears turned out to be absurd.

I still am waiting for a response to my letters. No word has been sent my way yet.
