I hate art... continued

Ok, portion of the current art project I am working on now requires me to mix 2 different paint colors using colors specified by my instructor to make a different color. In this case, I'm starting with orange and blue. I told my instructor early on I'm red/green color blind. This class is online, so I have to email my work to her. She obviously blew me out of the water on my first try. I reminded her that I was colorblind, since I didn't expect her to remember. She then replies with comment in her email : "I am a little concerned because you knew this was a COLOR and design course and your condition with your color blindness. However, we do have to make this work."

HOLY SHIT! That was harsh.

I couldn't even reply to that because I was so pissed me off. I got Becky to reply for me since I would of gotten in trouble if I had replied and I'm not going to ruin my college career over this crazy bitch. Becky reminded me that the course catalog and syllabus says nothing about mixing paint colors.
We have been trying for about 8 hours to get the paint the color she wants with no luck so far. I hope we can get this shit this weekend. I will need more beer!

I'm sending in my chiropractic bill for being hunched over the damn table for the past four nights...

What's crazier is that I'm NOT color blind and I'M the one that mixed the paint and it still isn't to her specifications. BAH!

I feel your pain on this one, buddy. I bought a pair of pants 2 weeks ago that I swore (and still swear) are blue. Everyone I come in contact with likes the pants, except they all say "hey, I like your gray pants."

Colorblindness is a bitch. So is your art teacher. You should paint her car red and green, and then when she asks you "do you see what you did to my car?!" you can say "no, I can't see that color, REMEMBER?!"
