Through the last several years of blogging, I've come to take more pride in my expression of the written word. Editing pieces takes considerable time, though I feel it's important to document my experiences, despite my sometimes, obvious editing misgivings. Unfortunately, today I just learned, my lack of attention to editing, has screwed me out of a job I desperately wanted. The day before we left for Iceland, I scrambled to create a cover letter, and grab my resume, as well as a writing sample, for a job I'd been very excited about, with Local Motion. Unfortunately in my haste,I failed to check my writing sample. It turns out I submitted the mangled draft of an assignment from last semester, and lost any consideration for the position because of my writing sample. It's not that I even thought I had a real shot at the position, but to learn that I screwed myself out of consideration because of my writing ability, is just plain, old,devastating.
That is all for today, I feel humiliated, and have to find other jobs to apply for, whilst not wallowing in my own idiocy.
Also, never fear, my Iceland post will go up soon. I have to download some photos from my camera, and non Apple technology continues to baffles me...

it's not whether you win or lose,
It's how you play the game! :)
