Whose Faulty Vision

Funny visual effect

My whole department is moving to another floor, and I’m packing up my crap today. Part of that is pulling things off of my walls. I just pulled down a couple of pieces of paper that had normally been right at the edge of my field of vision when I was looking at my computer screen. It’s just a blank white wall where the sheets used to be.

And it’s the funniest thing: now, when I look at my computer screen, I feel like there’s a little blind spot in my vision where those sheets used to be. I have to look over at the wall to remind my eyes that it’s not a blind spot, it’s just a white wall. It feels really weird.
