Disappointment (True Story)

Maybe I’m naive, maybe I’m just foolish, or even stupid.
But, in my opinion, the following story should not go as it did.

I asked a certain authority figure within a certain organization that I’m a part of, to fill something out for me because she was the one who introduced me to the scholarship in the first place. Also, she said she had done it before.

I presented this to her via email two weeks before the real due date, and I gave her an earlier due date in order that she might get it done before the due date.

My due date came and went, it was still not even started, but the person said that she was working on it.

The original due date came and went (luckily the date was extended three days), and it was still not even started, however, the form we reassigned was finished then.

The revised date came. It was not started until approximately 4 pm. At 6 pm it was still “in progress”, at 8 pm it was “in progress”, at 10:28 it was “in progress”.
