A month ago I sent out eleven application letters for a summer job. So far:
"Send us more information": Two.
"Get out of our lives and, while you're at it, die a bloody and painful death": Three.
"We received your information and don't want to tell you anything else": One.
"Come work for us -- you seem like a lovely individual": Zero.
"Bear my children": One.
My fingers are crossed for the first category. I'm watching my back for the second. I'm bored by the third, I'm discouraged by the fourth. And I begrudgingly accept the fifth.
