I Did Something Stupid

I think this would be Izzy's response if she knew what I did.

So I submitted my application to Alliance of Therapy Dogs (ATD) an hour after my last observed visit. I checked and double-checked my packet and then scanned it. I looked at it before attaching and then emailed it. I knew due to staff turnover and an increase in applicants as another major certifying agency has folded, it would be 5 to 7 weeks. I have been patiently waiting.

Today I got an email from ATD. I was so excited. Finally. I opened it and quickly saw the sentence that there was a page missing from my application. Page number 13. No way I thought. I checked and double-checked. I grabbed the packet. Page 13 was there. Then I looked at the scanned file. Page 13 was missing. It must have stuck to the page before it when I scanned them. When I looked at it, I must have been so sure it was there, I didn't realize it was missing.

I responded with the missing page within 5 minutes but I think this put me back at the bottom of the applications. I am so bummed and disappointed in myself for not checking that scanned copy more thoroughly. Lesson learned.
