Today, I've been waiting for a very important document in the mail. It has been two months. I reviewed my application and realized I forgot to put a mailing address down. FML

Today, I rushed to the post office to mail an important document for the study abroad program that I'd applied for, which was due in a few days. Just as the envelope slipped out of my hand and into the mail box, I caught a glimpse of the upper right corner where there was supposed to be a stamp. FML

Today, after waiting 3 months to see if I got the job I had applied for, I was told that they never received my application. Turns out that the email address that they told me to send it to was not being checked anymore and that they would be happy to consider me for the following year. FML

Today, I mailed out a college application that is going to another country. I paid $250 for the application and $11 for shipping. I just realized that I forgot to sign the bottom of the application. FML

Today, I called in about a job application I put in over a week ago. Apparently, the branch of the company that I applied to was never given my information, and the position was filled days ago. I've been checking the status of the position online daily, and it still says that it's open. FML

Today, after 3 months of job hunting, I finally got a job. But now my birth certificate and social security card are somehow lost, and I can't start until I let them see a copy. FML

Today, while checking my voicemail, I noticed I had received one from a job that I've been trying to get in for months. Too bad they called two weeks ago. FML

Snail mail

Today, after moving to a new house my life has fallen apart, paperwork lost, appointments missed, job offers rescinded, and now I know why. The postbox by my new house isn’t in use, so four months worth of the letters I've posted are sitting uncollected inside it. It even has a big "Not in use" sign on it. FML

Attention to detail

Today, I wrote an email for a job offer. I checked it, double-checked it, triple-checked it, and then sent it. It's only THEN that I realised my CV wasn't attached. FML

Today, I realized I sent over 2 dozen job applications with my dating profile word doc instead of my resume. FML

That's why you go all psycho ocd on important stuff and check it 100 times.

Checking 100 times is a bit excessive. 99 times should suffice.

Aw, shit. I knew Google was reading my emails, but now they're searchable by other people? Not cool. Guess I'm going back to Yahoo.

With applications you triple check everything.

Oh be careful next time. And if you remember where the interview took place, go down there and ask for the application. Everybody makes mistakes.

It must haven't been that important for you to not double check or call to check up on its status. When I submit an application for anything I make sure everything is filled out properly and I always call or use the website to check that it was receive. I cannot believe you waited two month before checking on it.
