    Every hour of every day was subdivided into different study periods, each labelled in his lovely, tiny copperplate hand; then painted over in watercolours, a different colour for each subject, the colours gradually becoming bolder and more urgent shades as the exam time approached. The effect was as if a myriad tiny rainbows had splintered and sprinkled across the poster-sized sheet of creamwove card.
    Rather than dick around with colours I just type N O T I N in any week I'm off.

    Balls to the lot of them.

    That’s good going, must be private sector. If it was government they would schedule a series of meetings, outsource the chart, it would be ready in March and cost £60K.

    I would look at the spreadsheet, sigh very loudly - then point out that being colour blind is a disability and they wouldn't want to discriminate......

    They might as well spend another 3 hours working out what colours work.
