Thank you! I still ready need all the luck I can get, although hearing that the letter has been found made me feel as though I had practically been accepted already. :D

And as for the obnoxious person - I mentioned her to the nice lady dealing with my application, telling her how nice she was in contrast to the other colleague who threw me out. I really only wanted to tell her that I thought that she had everybody go through their stuff was amazing, because I've been at her mercy, and she wouldn't have HAD to do it, she could have just said no and forgotten about it. She was absolutely shocked when I said that I'd been thrown out. Makes me hope that it's nowhere near the norm.
