Cutting it too fine

I love joining $200,000 buy in MTT NLHE tournaments late; the later the better. Last night, I cut it too fine, however. I tried to join in the final minute, but got foiled by the confirm popup. I was in time to register my intention to join, but by the time I clicked the okay button in the confirm popup, the late registration period had ended and I was shut out. That hurt! I had to settle for a toy train 8-game.
