What the Eye Sees...

Oftentimes, sitting in long boring meetings, I find myself wishing that something out of the ordinary would happen. Perhaps the Chairperson could break wind. Someone might spill their coffee on the minutes; the girl taking notes will stand up, shake her hair free, and carry out a striptease.

Anything in fact.

One thing that did happen today was worth a giggle though.

One of our contract Web Designers had been working on a new form for our customers to fill in when they wanted to update their address details. He had spent quite a few days perfecting the functionality behind every button, field and setting. Sorted out the corporate logo, and generally did an excellent job.

Except for one thing.

When he did a demo today, yours truly pointed out that mid-blue writing on a light-blue background didn't seem to be very easy to read.

He disagreed, saying he could see it perfectly well, and it wasn't a blue font anyway, it was green. After a few minutes of to-ing and fro-ing, he mysteriously changed his mind, and sat down.

Suddenly, I recalled speaking to him a few days earlier, when he had told me he was, in fact, colourblind.

Ah.

Cringe.
