WHAT IS SO DIFFICULT ABOUT VERSION CONTROL omg i am losing my mindddddd why do editors have so much trouble with this concept??? if you send someone comments on a document and ask them to revise even though you know more comments on that version are coming, they're going to submit a revision and then you're going to give them comments on THE OLD VERSION THAT DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE WHAT ABOUT THIS MAKES SENSE PEOPLE. i spent half an hour explaining this to someone yesterday and i thought she got it and then today she did something EVEN MORE NONSENSICAL than what she was planning to do originally! o glorb stay my hand i am about to do something unwise!!!

#just don't have them submit a revision until you're done with that version!!! you are creating two alternate timelines here!!!!! #i can't do my job in parallel universes please help a broad out oh my god IT'S NOT HARD!!!!!! #yesterday i was like how about. you send them the comments you have so far. and tell them more comments are on the way. #and then AFTER they've gotten and responded to all the comments you have them submit a new revision? #and she was like yeah that makes sense! #then today she sends them the comments but is like 'revise this and send me the revision outside the system while you're waiting #for the rest of the comments' NO!! BAD EDITOR!!!!! THAT'S WORSE NOW IT'S ALL OUTSIDE OF THE SYSTEM WHAT IS #WRONG WITH YOU!!!! #if you want to get a revision sooner then just tell the other people who are reviewing to hold off & do their review of that future version #i don't understandddddd oh my god i should have just not said anything to her yesterday. this is worse than if i had just #let her do the stupid thing she was originally going to do. now she's gonna do everything outside the system #why though!!!!!!! #my posts
