Something I want to add, sort of a nag but also something young employees should think about. Yes, getting fired is an awful feeling and could also be an inconvenience if you were hoping for future references from youir internsip. BUT, tenisghs, I noticed that you posted on another threads earlier this morning–maybe right after you got to work after the dentist–starting with an apology for late response because you were just back form Chicago. if you were in fact at work and knew you were tired, this may not have been a great use of your personal resources. Additionally, doing personal e-mail at work, although very common, is not necessarily looked favorably upon. It is possible that when the VP found you asleep at your desk it wasn’t so much a first offense as a finishing touch–conceivably the VP or someone else in a supervisory role may have felt you weren’t pulling your weight as much as you thought you were.
