22 days until Last Day.
Had a good day for the most part. Finally screwed up the nerve to apply to one of my dream jobs. It came with a six-hour pretest to assess my skills. Looking over it, I felt confident I'd ace it. I was right, too.
What I was wrong about, however, is remembering military time. 1300 hours is not 3:00 PM, and while I'd have had plenty of time to work through it if I was remembering it, I wanted to take a couple breaks and destress so I wouldn't make any of the mistakes I usually do if I get hurried.
Long story short, I submitted 10 minutes, 23 seconds late. The webpage says it won't grade my pretest, but it also accepted the answers anyway, so they might get bored enough to look. I also have two other jobs with the same people that I can apply for, one of which is really good but really hard to swing, and the other which is much, much more likely. I'll try them both.
Also, say hi to sillyokio. Girl's made me smile plenty.
