So anyway, I’m working on the form for Summit on Racism registration.

While I’m working on the form, I have an idea. This is not unusual because I am constantly having ideas. What is unusual is that in this case, it directly related to the project I was working on.

Here’s the observation:
1. The form that we’ve created allows one person to register at a time
2. The form requires a person to register for Summit by means of a credit card.
3. We always get say 10 or so registrations from certain places that are clearly all filled out by the same person. Plus, that person may not be allowed to register by credit card. Company policy may require a check.

So, I mention this to people in charge, thinking that I might be over-analyzing things.

They don’t think I’m overanalyzing things. Instead, they agree with me. Worse, they agree with my solution–creating a new form/script that allows a person to register multiple people for the same address, allowing large groups to do write a check instead of using a credit card.

Can I work extra hours to finish this by Monday at noon? The weekend if necessary?

Ack.

I sure hope it isn’t necessary. If it is, Kristen will be rightfully cranky. Happy Valentine’s day… Have fun at the restaurant… alone.
