Shoutout to the intern who caught our color profile mix-up after 6 weeks

I was totally sure our new monitor was broken because every file we sent to print came back slightly blue, and it took a 19-year-old on his third day to notice we'd been exporting in sRGB instead of Adobe RGB the whole time. Has anyone else had a setup fail that was embarrassing simple to fix, or is my ego just extra fragile today?

We had a whole campaign go out with the wrong font weights once, every headline looked like it was shouting. A temp worker spotted it before any client did, and we had to redo about 40 files that weekend. The real kicker was the fix took two clicks in the master style sheet, nothing fancy. My ego took a hit too, but now I make the newbies check everything twice before we send. It hurts, but sometimes the fresh eyes are the only ones that see the obvious.
