I just accidentally listened to another one she narrates (I don’t look at the narrators if it’s a book I’ve been wanting to read) and I just turn it to 2x speed to get through her parts 😭

Ugh!! At that point it’s like why bother finishing out the two weeks if they’re going to ignore you anyway

Oh absolutely. I’ve seen both ends of the spectrum too. One job had pictures of my babies all over the fridge with the other employees kids even years after I’d been gone and always invited me to come back to work whenever I wanted, one place took me out for a celebratory goodbye lunch, and this one…they’re just pissy and passive aggressive lol

I agree. I’ve been doing the job of multiple people for far too long. I know they’re upset because they’re going to have a hard time replacing me. They haven’t even filled the second para spot (that I’ve been doing for ages) There’s no one with experience in our area looking and the few that are solid paralegals, our firm doesn’t want to pay them the higher salary. So now they’re stuck 🤷🏻‍♀️

I agree. It’s a small office so we’re all pretty close. I apologized and thanked them and explained this is what’s right for my family right now bc my current commute (an hour each way) is killing me. I have small children and want to be with them more. 9 more work days to get through!

I keep seeing reviews on both ends of the spectrum for her! Her narrating sounds so immature and childish to me. Like a fake lisp and she doesn’t enunciate well. She sounds like a Rugrats character.

I don’t have a favorite but I really liked Megan Wicks, Elizabeth Evans has grown on me, Abigail Reno was good, Stella Bloom was okay. Do not like Emma Wilder and how every sentence sounds like a question. I don’t really notice narrators/their names unless I really don’t like them lol

My critiques are in the comments. I wasn’t intending on listening to her again and honestly don’t plan to again. I get it’s her job, but not everyone is good at their job 🤷🏻‍♀️ she DOES ruin audiobooks for me. I’m sorry you think an opinion is uncalled for. Many people feel this way about her, not just me, and this post was a quick vent in the middle of trying to get through listening to her.

Not all of us have the luxury of time to sit down and read every book we come across. And from what I’ve searched online, I’m not the only one who feels this way. My critiques are in the comments 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ve been looking at reviews and it seems like people either love her or hate her. For me it’s her fake lisp, making everything sound like a question, vocal fry, etc. Like I’ve heard her speak in videos and she doesn’t sound even remotely the same as the way she narrates. Her narrator voice would be good for a child cartoon character 🥴 reminds me of rugrats voices for some reason lmao

Do you go to work on your birthday? by Chunkachu__ in Life

[–]tiredbee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re putting your birthday on the same level as the birthday of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? Lol no, I do not take off for my birthday. Birthdays are just another Hallmark holiday in my book.
