I missed a job application, so I'm frustrated.

[RangerWickett]

So, I realized today that I missed the deadline for a job application I was interested in. I'd been at Origins last weekend (total waste of time, by the way), and I'd asked for an extension, which was generously granted. But a friend of mine came into town, and we got to playing Magic a lot, and I forgot all about the job application, so I missed the deadline.

Not completely the fault of Magic cards, but I just feel stupid. Oh, other problems included my apartment complex having a power outage because a drunk driver slammed into a light pole and knocked down a power line (he lived, thankfully), which caused me to crash at a friend's place so I wouldn't be stuck without AC. Unfortunately, my friend is one of those lonely types who wanted me to hang around the next day, so that was another day wasted.

I'm going to send in the application anyway, in case they don't work Saturdays and don't think to check the date I sent the email. Heh.

*sigh*

Now, I know what you're saying. "But Ryan, you write for E.N. Publishing, and work on the ENWorld Gamer. How could you want another job?" To which I have to reply, "You're right. I can easily support myself with this freelance gig, and all I need is the help of a few thousand ENWorlders a month to buy things I write."

Forgive my ranting. I just feel in a ranty sort of mood.

Sorry to hear you didn't have fun at Origins. What happened, might I ask? What games did you get into?

I went with a friend to help him sell a new game he'd made. The man had to bring his computer on the trip because he'd not printed anything before leaving Atlanta. Unfortunately, his computer broke, and he had to get a new one. He ended up losing about 800 dollars on the trip, and I had no time to game. The only thing I got out of it was some swag from the WotC booth, and what was supposed to be me helping a friend on a business trip ended up being me spending lots of money for no good effect.

Maybe if I hadn't gone to GenCon before to see ENWorld folks, I wouldn't have had to contrast the con so much against it. But Origins wasn't nearly as fun.

Wasn't "good with deadlines" or some such thing a requirement?
