You think you know someone

My coworker and I compiled three bags full of tapes into a DVD collection for an actress. It's a tedious process, and he spent way more hours on the project than I did. When the lady came in to pick up the DVD collection upon its completion, my coworker told her that she had a nice legacy. She blew off the compliment completely. And when she noticed that some of the tapes had been combined onto a single DVD, she started throwing a fit.

My coworker began trying to explain to her that there was no loss in quality, and she began complaining that she wanted the highest quality available. The tapes she brought in hold an hour's worth of film each, and DVDs are capable of holding 6 hours of footage. If you bring in Jurassic Park* part 1 and Jurassic Park part 2 on some 3/4 tapes from the 80's or even 70's, wouldn't it be nice for them to be combined onto a single DVD? And you're not losing quality!! You're gaining convenience. The difference between the movie spread out over one versus two DVDs is NOT noticeable except for the fact that you're going to have to pop in a second DVD. It's not going to change anything otherwise.

*Jurassic Park is just an example. She was not cool enough to star in Jurassic Park*

So she bitched and complained, and my coworker passed her off to another editor who calmed her down and defused her. It was also a complete shock because she seemed like such a normal person from all of the films we basically had to sit and watch with her in them.

And guess what? She won the fight. The client is always right. And that now means I'm the one who has to redo the transfers! That equals me having to look at her ugly mug for 12 hours all day tomorrow. Did I even mention she has red hair? She's supposed to be pretty according to her movie roles. But I can't see that. I can't see that at all. She's a complete hag and has-been.

What a bad way to end my work day. It was just nearing 5 o' clock which is the time I normally bust out of this joint.

Just venting.
Hollywood is a bitch.
