😆 Yeah, I didn’t recognize one person. Figured we were about the same height. Nearly a 10” difference. First day in the office and they just pop by my desk and it took a few seconds into the conversation for me to figure out who was speaking.

Met my team a while back, and they were surprised at how tall I am.
I’m a 5’6’’ female. Turns out everyone else in my team is tiny! :D

Facts 🤣

Tallest person I’ve seen at work was 6’10”

That’s taller than Task Master’s Greg Davies! Didn’t think it was possible. 😉

People thought I was way taller until they met me. I must exude a lot of confidence.

Funny that people place a lot of subconscious/conscious emphasis on physical stature.

When you get rid of physical attributes, gender, and name that defines cultural origin. And focus on resume, experience, etc., you get awesome and surprising results. Equality and equity notwithstanding.

Lollll yup. Totally true

I was told I have “short girl attitude” jokingly by a coworker… I’m 5’7 😂

Might be starting at a small agency as a full time Junior AD soon, fingers crossed. The only other roles I’ve had at agencies were freelance and intern before WFH.

What equipment do I absolutely need at home? And how should I bring it up?

I currently have a 2015 MacBook Pro that’s running on fumes. An Wacom Intuos Pro. A mouse. A few external hard drives. And a second screen.

Do we have any US, European or Australian universities hiring Instructional Designers/ Content Reviewers from India for remote positions (permanent work from home)?

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing.
