The parts of the plan I did not like:

The check and the application would only meet at the end.
I would be dropping off an application for a process I was unfamiliar with.
One person was to pick up the application, hand it to another person and then hand it to me.
I did not know the phone numbers and/or names of half of the people involved in the plan.
One person was without a cell phone.
The person orchestrating the whole thing would be not only out of town but out of country.


What went wrong with the plan:

I was stuck at a desk all day when normally I'm not.
I was not handed the application in the morning.
I was not handed the application in the afternoon.
I was not handed the application.
I was stuck holding the check for the fee and had no application.
The person with the application was stuck with the application and no check for the fee.
I could not call the person with the application because he did not have a cell phone.
The check was worthless without the application.
The application was worthless without the check for the fee.
The person orchestrating the whole thing was unable to be reached.


Miscellaneous wrong:

I was told I could skip out early because I did the company a solid but could not skip out because I was waiting for an application that never arrived.
My coffee went cold.
Four printers or copiers were out of paper
there was other stuff but who cares
