One Letter Off

One misspelled word can change our lives. A coworker has a daughter that just received her Master's Degree. She applied for a job at a large company and after weeks of interviews, she started work a month ago. She was happy with her job, even though she seemed to be doing odd tasks. She assumed that this was part of the training. She was contacted by another large company and asked to come for an interview. She set an appointment time. A day later, she asked herself why she was even going, because the place she was at now was nice. Yesterday she emailed the second company to say she would not be keeping the appointment. At 1pm, she was called into her supervisor's office and laid off. It seems that her job title was eliminated as the corporate office decided not to move their accounts payable department to New York. It seems that was why she was doing odd tasks. The company was negotiating the move and did not want to tell her. She was so upset and angry that she cancelled the other interview. When she got home, she opened her email and saw a Daemon Error. Her email canceling her interview never went through. One letter was missing in the email address. She went on the interview yesterday and did well. She will go for her second interview in a few days. One misspelled word made all the difference.
