What takes mere mortals minutes to accomplish, it has taken me months to get around to submitting an application for World Cup Tickets. I think a tear ran down my cheeck as I clicked 'submit' at the bottom of that intrusive form.
You see, it wasn't always meant to happen that I should fall so pathetically behind schedule in completing an application process, it just kind of took a back seat to our more timely vacation, the one in Costa Rica in less than a month. As all trained Account Managers well know (Sean can back me up on this), bypassing the most pressing task at hand for something that can be done weeks or months later is not only unwise, it's unethical. Therefore all South Africa planning has sputtered along like a North Korean missile.
No more. This ticket application will be only the jolt I need to get back into the swing of things. Although I should also probably note that I've only applied for Sean, Eric and Michelle, meaning I will have to apply for Nick, Brad, Ryan (?) and myself as soon as I have Brad's and Ryan's passport numbers. Anyway, half of step 1 is done, and it feels pretty damn good.
From the confirmation page at fifa.com, which will hopefully be the impetus needed to keep the planning going:
FIFA would like to remind anyone applying for tickets to bear in mind that South Africa is a long haul destination for most of the teams that will qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, and that you should begin planning your travel itinerary including flights, accommodation, ground transportation and attractions for your stay in South Africa as early as possible.
Dear god...
