Phlisg25168y@tinybyte I am! Although a new colleague freshly arrived in our department and she can leverage me of stupid maintenance stuff like that, but only for our new CMS... The annoying colleague wants updates on the old CMS

Sorry, but I am not sympathetic. Sounds like it's you own damn fault for not paying attention to details and testing your work properly. Apparently instead of being embarrassed by this you decided that it would be best to blame the person who asked you for help, because they kept finding issues with what you have done.
Moral of the story: don't do half assed shit for things you don't care about because it will come back to bite you. -
Phlisg25168y@nickhh Well, indeed! Funnily it's always with this one colleague I end up forgetting things she asks me to do (probably due to the lengthy word files with no diff highlighting compared to previous page version), but after I fixed my mistakes she just assumed I am at her service, that's what annoyed me :)

Phlisg25168y@unjx I maybe over did it slightly, but still true. My manager is going to have yet another word with her

Man I really hate it when people think that coding doesn't take any concentration and can just interrupt you while you're thinking about how to solve problems
So the other day I was working on how to solve a problem with filtering data with JS, and I had to urgently update one of our pages on our website. I had to update that page according to the content of a Word file, which I didn't check how long it was.
About 15 minutes later everything was ready and published, so I set myself back to my problem.
I get an email from her, "you mixed up things" and she showed up in my office. "There are four pages in this word doc and you copied wrong parts", I was like "ok, I'll fix it". Fixed it two minutes later, went back to code.
Received another email, with another subject, again with another problem. Start getting pissed off for being interrupted for nonsense. Fixed it instantly and put my manager in the email loop so she is aware my other colleague pisses me off.
And again, another direct email "can you fix this?!". I started ignoring her requests because I need some work to be done, and I already lost 2 hours. Got again interrupted by her personal visit to point me which things are wrong, repeating everything twice as I am stupid to her. Man I can't code in peace. I fixed her shit, exactly as she wants and decided to pay my manager a visit to tell her I'm really pissed about being interrupted all the time.
Five minutes before the end of the day, she comes panicking in the office about ANOTHER WORTHLESS issue. Told her it's nothing and went away.
Day is over, thought it was over - a whole afternoon spent correcting her fucking page that gets 10 visits a year.
On the next morning, "there is something wrong with your form, can you check it?!!?" with an attached screenshot. FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU STOP ANNOYING ME WITH YOUR FUCKING SHIT CANT WORK ANYMORE. PUT YOUR FUCKING PAGE RIGHT UP YOUR ASS AND FIX IT YOURSELF.
She doesn't have any access to the back end.
Guess I'll have to fix it then...
