I got home from work tonight and there was an envelope from IBM in my mailbox. It was marked "Urgent." Now remember that I work at IBM but not for IBM. So before I can get inside to open the envelope, my mind is racing. I've applied for employment in a number of positions at IBM recently, and as I'm unlocking the door to go inside so I can open this urgent letter, I'm absolutely sure that somebody has finally seen the benefit of hiring me and this is the first step.
Nope. They were informing me that the tapes that were lost recently containing employment data contained, among tens of thousands of others, my employment data from my eight years in the 80s. The urgent message? They're offering me credit monitoring.
Oh well. I'd rather have a job offer, if it's all the same to you.
