[work complain] i have an arch nemesis
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
i can't fucking believe it. her name is also Lena, and she pronounces it the same, except she's dumb as a rock and super passive aggressive
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
not someone on my team, someone we work with from a different company, but we're trying to collaborate on a project and she keeps insisting on bafflingly making everything 20x more tedious for no good reason
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
this is already a very annoying and tedious project to work on. but she keeps making MORE WORK for BOTH OF US and i want to fistfight her and defeat her so I can be the one true Lena
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
im just mad because i've been putting off this extra thing she wanted me to do all week because it's so fucking dumb but it needs to get done this week
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
(it actually doesn't need to get done at all but she's refusing to continue to the next step of the project without this completely unnecessary step)
แดกแดสา.
Omg I hope you destroy her.... There can't be two
Many mistakes
okay but everyone should have a work nemesis
Many mistakes
I am sorry for your stress and irritation but we all deserve a good nemesis
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
LMAO yes my villain origin story, this is it
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
i just. cannot stress enough how stupid this request is. I can't go into detail but basically I handed over storyboards that correspond line for line with a script, and she came back to say she doesn't understand who anyone is without labels.
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
I had the artist label everyone, and she came back to say she can't read the handwriting. they are initials. she can't read. a letter???
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
when i tried to explain that makes no fucking sense she was like "oooh, i'm sorry for the miscommunication! I thought you would label them typed out, not in handwriting! not everyone can read handwriting!"

wait now I'm curious how you pronounce it
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
Leh-nah. not like the actress who apparently pronounces it as if it were spelled Lina
juliette lives
oh wow, I've never heard it anything but lee-na
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
i'd never heard leena until people started being like "oh like lena dunham" and i had to google her LMAO
juliette lives
lena headey too
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
never heard of that person either i don't know actors whoops
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
my name is also not really Lena, that's a shortened version of my real name, which is Eastern European and no one can pronounce it
juliette lives
ahhh that makes sense
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
yeah it's coming from a completely different phonetic system so i never even considered the E could make an EE sound hahaha
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
lord now i'm getting war flashbacks to the one time an ex-coworker tried to correct me on the "proper" pronunciation of my name when I kept politely asking him to stop calling me Lina. he legit linked me "how to pronounce" youtube videos
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
why are men
juliette lives

I had one teacher who afaik was american and yet insisted on calling me mee-chelle in a french accent bc she had lived in france for a while iirc
juliette lives
and I was like
juliette lives
pls don't
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
LMAO WHAT
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
god. people are wild.
juliette lives
it was so bizarre, she did it to a nicole, too. nee-cole, with a french air. everything else out of her mouth was straight up american.
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
if she lived in france and pronounced it the french way she should also know that michelle in french is a man's name
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
that's bonkers
juliette lives
sorry I derailed your shitty coworker plurk but I wanted to be mentally pronouncing your name right
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
also once had someone ask where I'm from, then tell me that's not what i meant so like. some people will do whatever the fuck they want they will not listen
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
OH IT'S OKAY thank you for asking!
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
i'm not mad when people pronounce it wrong i just get mad when people refuse to listen when I say it haha
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
i've spent all day procrastinating on labeling this storyboard and the last two hours doing it grudgingly and very slowly and i am feelin. feisty.
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
WHO CAN'T READ INITIALS???? the artist's handwriting isn't that bad!
Many mistakes
the LAZINESS of saying 'i just don't want to have to figure out who those letters map to...' dude
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
yep. YEP. !!!!!!
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
i literally said, with my best customer service smile, "If you look at the script and the storyboard side by side........ you'll see it all matches panel for panel..."
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
to which she was like "well you'd have to look at them really closely" I MEAN YEAH THAT'S YOUR JOB
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
thanks for listening to my rant i just cannot get over how lazy and/or stupid this person is i wish i could share photos of the nonsense i'm doing right now because it looks utterly unhinged
slurm lord
you deserve a better arch nemesis
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
you're right....
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ

๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
some people are just stupid I guess 
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
I'm sure many people think I'm stupid too so it evens out but I can at least read letters
dead dog bones

๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ซ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ก๏ธ
LMAO FUCK. at least i also know how to use scissors. two points in my favor. some people simply do not know how to read or use scissors!!

I sent the project back over to her with all the dumb labeling and i'm desperately hoping she doesn't figure out another reason to send it back so fingers crossed!!
