Ha, the tomato plant timeline mix-up is too real. I once spent a whole meeting trying to decode my coworker's bookshelf, thinking it was a project chart. Turns out he just likes organizing by color, not project phases. My boss had to gently point out I was studying book spines, not deadlines.
That's the problem with color coding, it makes everything look important even when it's just someone's weird shelf organization. Your boss must have thought you were preparing for the most artsy project review ever.
