Overview
If there's something you really, really want to happen at work, there's a good chance that you'll begin to see progress in that direction. Sure, it's no guarantee that it will work, but then there are no guarantees in these things. And, in fact, that's part of what makes the whole prospect so exciting: You never know what's going to happen. So cross your fingers and send a few emails and wait and see what course it all takes. Maybe you should make a few phone calls too, though.
