Me: I'm gonna be more active and draw and talk to people more Also me: Disappears into the void for days at a time

Something that bothers me is when people above 160cm 5.2feet brag about their shortness like it's cute and fun and makes them more attractive and it's fine finding confidence in yourself and being body positive. But I feel like some of these people don't know the bullying and harrasment that comes with being short.

I was in a bar with my old job, ordering drinks to everyone. And this couple came up to me and asked me how tall I was, to then go on trying to keep me from going back to my coworkers. Because they had a friend who was really into 'short girls' and blocked me from getting away. And it was extremely uncomfortable, luckily one of my coworkers noticed I had been gone for too long so she came back for me and elbowed them away.

I've had people stop me from going on with my daily life to guess my ethnicity because my height doesn't correlate with the standards.

And not everyone are rude, some of my friends just always remind me because they forget that I'm short and it does get old. But some are extremely aggressive towards me or very intense, I'm not fast nor strong so it's not fun. And I can never triumph my victories because all I do is freeze up when I feel like I'm in danger.

I can't even count how many uncomfortable encounters I've had. and I guess these experiences makes me a angry short person¿¿

Anyway I bring this up because I'm probably jealous that some people can brag about a trait I have and then dismiss me when I say I'm also short. I just want to relate to people who experience the same things that I do but they only want to have the title not the struggle.

Also I know I should ignore these things but I'm not as cool as a cucumber

I can haz communication?

A coworker mentioned in passing yesterday that one of the other consultants on staff gave her notice. A week or two ago. And is moving back to Ireland. That’s kind of important information! And then it came up that one of our other folks gave her notice a week or two ago too.

Me: Wait, K gave her notice?

S: Yeah, she’s going over to work where A is now.

Me: Uh... Does A not work for us any more either?

S: No, she left a few months ago.

(Our consultants are often out for months at a time, so I’m used to them not being around.)

Seriously people, when someone leaves the company on good terms (which these departures very much are) you’re supposed to do something to recognise their contributions, celebrate the time you had with them, etc. At the very least, send out an email saying “X is leaving, we’re very sorry to see them go.” Something. Anything, for crying out loud.

It's 2:00am. My hand hurts from writing and my backs really sore. Good lord. I want to keep going. But. I'm getting very light headed and dizzy. I might as well call it a night.
