things that are the worst

  • transcribing audio recordings of an interview
  • transcribing audio recordings of an interview where i am speaking and wow do i sound stupid
  • transcribing audio recordings of an interview slowed down by 20% so i sound like a horror monster saying stupid things from underwater

Holy crap, this. Not only am I terrible at transcribing things (I’m praying that I don’t get asked to transcribe the debate tomorrow night), but just listening to any sort of recording of myself is absolute torture. The amount of times I think to myself “Jesus Christ do I really sound like that?” and “Why the hell would you say that, that was idiotic” over the course of transcribing is unbearable.
