Remember the "Bank Error in Your Favor" Monopoly card? How about "Deadline Error in Your Favor?"
I just raced to complete the online portion of an application for a teaching project tonight, only to realize that either I had mis-read the date by 10 days, or that someone had silently corrected a typo, making the deadline midnight on January 15, rather than midnight on January 5.
And I discovered that difference on January 5 at 11:45. After a lot of writing. Sigh. I wondered why the application was due in two phases... and why nobody else had posted to the discussion lists yet.
