- SM: Hi! I need you to add an addition quickly to this finished web page.
- Me: Sure. One thing, though. The page has little icons denoting links that will open up onto external sites. So when I create that addition, any links that we add will have those little icons.
- SM: Great! Here's the layout. Let me know when you get that up.
- Me: Okay, I've put the page with the addition onto a test server, so you can take a look at it before we make it final.
- SM: Great! Um, why are there little icons here? That wasn't on the original design.
- Me: Right. Like I said, the original page adds those icons. It's something that is added by a script that runs after my addition, so there isn't anything I can do about it.
- SM: Hmm... well, I can't show it to the client like that. Can you get rid of them?
- Me: I can get rid of them on the test site, only because I can prevent that particular script from running, but you've got to remember that when it goes on the client's server, all we're adding is my little addition. The script is run by the client and is part of their page.
- SM: Okay, please remove the script...
- Me: ...from the test server. It will only be removed on the test server.
- SM: Right.
- -- Days later --
- SM: Great! The client approved it. Can you send them the addition?
- Me: Sure.
- -- Hours Later --
- Client: There are little icons on the addition. When we approved it, there weren't any icons. Our developer said she has nothing to do with those icons. You must have added them.
- SM: Weird. There aren't any icons on the test server. Jonathan, why are there icons on the client's side?
- Me: Wait. What? Re-read the emails. I told you what would happen. I didn't add the icons.
- SM: He said, she said. I don't care who is to blame.
- Me: Blame? What? The client server has a script that is adding the icons!
- SM: Great! But there aren't any icons on the test server.
- Me: [Slams head into desk. Shakes fists at sky. How much an hour am I getting paid again?]
In certain circles and in certain situations, I am the Devil. I’ve seen it in your eyes. I walk in, and there is an immediate chill to the room. You look at me with dread. It is because I bear the truth, and knowledge is the Devil’s domain. I wreck preconceptions and prejudices. I tear away the thin veil of belief and expose the scared child within. I don’t hate you; I just want you to know the truth. I don’t want to hurt you; I just want you to open your eyes. You’ve always had that power, but you were too stubborn. And when I rip away the lie that you’ve told yourself, you’ll blame me for your pain. I understand, but you’re wrong there, too. I may be the Devil, but you were the one that refused to see what was clear all along.
