So there was this EPA program that I wanted to apply for. A 2 year stint that would lead to a permanent position with the agency. It was posted last week, with a deadline of tomorrow. Well, I put off filling out my application because I needed to find out what my GS (government pay scale) number was from when I interned at the USGS. When I finally got everything together to apply for this thing last night, I realized that I needed to not onlly fill out the application and write two essays, but I also needed to submit a snail mail package containing transcrpits from every school I've atteneded and two letters of reccomendation, postmarked no later than tomorrow. And there is no way I can get transcripts from three schools and any letters of reccomendation by then! I should have known. I mean, it's the government. :pissed:

So yeah, I'm a little dissapointed. And kicking myself for putting it off. sigh.

yeah, I'm just mad at myself for not having this ready sooner. I mean, you really have to just have everything ready to go before they even announce the opening.
