D'oh!

Today, I wore my shirt inside out. This could be the beginning of the end.

It's also a classic Description Error (This is for the benefit of my Human Factors students). I was running late this morning, and in an effort to get ready as quickly as possible and get to class on time, I brilliantly put my shirt on inside out... I wrongfully assumed that I had stored my shirt right-side out and in my haste, did the right action (put the shirt on "correctly") to the wrong object (the inside-out version of the object). Genius! (well, that's sarcasm... but it's also "self-blame")

So, because this slip was made... (If an error is possible, assume that someone can make it)... how might have the design of the shirt been improved to prevent this error? Well, we can't really constrain the shirt to only being worn right-side out... Not this shirt anyway... .... whoops... change of subject... see next post.
