When the dog eats the teacher

So I worked a few hours on an application to be accepted as a stock photographer with photoshelter. Multiple uploads, captioning, and tearing my hair our over the photos. Not to mention steeling myself for the rejection.

They said they would make their decision in 5 business days.

4 Business days I receive this in the email. They closed.

So I don't get the rejection I was expecting, but I didn't really have a shot. Left me feeling like I turned in term paper and the T.A. died in a freak explosion with all the papers and they withdrew us all from the class... Not exactly a do-over either.

Still I feel pretty good about having made my application. I had the stones to ante up and sit down at the table. Granted the table turned to dust as I sat down...

Ah well. It happens. What's next?
