FUCK.

Can you contact their admin section, before it goes too far in the organisation? You could ask them to attach the addresses to your form, if you give them over the phone? If there is any humanity left in the world, they should understand and be able to fix this up for you.

It's only a small company, the person I would have to contact is the person who would be interviewing me.

To be honest I think I stand a better chance of them not noticing until after interview (assuming I even get one) than ringing-up and bringing to their attention the fact that I'm such a total retard that I can't even manage to complete an application form without fucking it up.


[sad face]

I don't know, maybe I'm not cynical enough - I like to think that person would see it as a sign of regular-joe fallibility. They might even see it as a positive thing that you had the confidence to take a forthright step and correct your mistake.

Also, even making a semi-bad impression (and it's hardly the most retarded thing anyone's ever done on an application form) could work in your favour - you go from being 'mis-filed application form' to 'the guy who phoned up to pass on his referee details and sounded really employable on the phone' before you even go into the interview room. An icebreaker, if you will!

It might seem like a dumb mistake, but it's nothing like the dumb mistake these people will make if they give the job to some dumbass, rather than to you!

I feel your pain.

My anxiety/obsessiveness comes out on my face. I just can't stop. Half the time there's really nothing there, but I just can't STOP PICKING.

AHHHHHHZITTTTPICCCCKKKKKING!

Yesterday, I came home from work and grabbed my mail. In addition to the bills and junk, there was a large envelope that was obviously an invitation.

It had my name on it and was addressed to me. The return address was from the 4000 block of N. Clark in Chicago.

I opened it up. Inside was an invitation for a wedding scheduled for July 25th at Cafe Brauer. The couple getting married are named Rebecca Wright and Josh Miller.

I have no idea who these people are.

Yesterday, though, when I was getting home from work and was at the stoplight on Farwell and Brady, someone was doing bird calls. Really loudly. As in, I could hear them loud and clear over my loud car radio. I couldn't see who was doing it, but it was clearly a person and not a bird. They must have had an amplifier.

that is my new guitar sound...
