Arrrrgh!!!!

I spent an hour last night and two hours tonight working on a job application. I finally finished up the self-evaluation criteria a few minutes ago. It's lengthy--there are all these different tasks that you rate your ability to perform in, then you prepare a narrative to support your own rating. I wound all that up and went to the online application website to submit my information.

Guess what?

The website said the vacancy announcement was closed by management sometime today. I can't figure out what the heck is going on. I contacted the supervisor of this position at about 2:00 today, and she didn't say anything about having a problem with the vacancy and not being able to fill it. I guess it's possible that there was a glitch on the application website. But seriously! I spent three hours out of my life working on this. Oh, and? Even if they reopen it tomorrow, that gives me tomorrow night to get all the information input to the site, since we're leaving on vacation Friday and I won't have reliable internet access until after the first of the year. Arrrrgh!!!
