I'm getting short shamed at work!
Permalink  
 

So two weeks ago they gave us this beautiful new stainless steel sink in the department. It's really nice, I'm sure the hospital spent thousands on it. Thing is... it's 5 inches wider than the old one. Now I can't reach the towel dispenser and soap which was kinda high to begin with. I tried dealing with it for a few days but it really is a strain on my back and shoulders trying to reach it. When I went to the boss I told her no laughing but I couldn't even keep a straight face. Then of course the dept. head had to giggle when she saw me. Thennnnn I had to deal with all the maintenance guys when they got the work order. I told them I'm handicapped and they need to accommodate me!

Oh geez. I bet it's a pain for sure.

Couldn't they get you a step stool?

Well one thing for sure, if they are ribbing you, they are giving someone else a break.

No room for a step stool. There is very little room for foot traffic and it would just become a trip hazard.

 This is the story of my life. All the doors at work have windows to look though before entering and they start at the top of my head.

When I went in earlier for a case the plant services guy comes up to me and says "I hear you are one of the wee people". This guy is like 6'2".

They wanted me to put big springs on my feet so I could jump, lol! I'm used to the short jokes. It's ok as long as they don't get gross.

One of them I use to get in bed. I have thicker mattresses and it's a little too high.

Have you tried one of those inverter things? You know, where you hang upside down by your feet? It's supposed to make your spine stretch out and make you taller.

I am short and proud of it. When I'm frustrated by how every thing is designed for a average person I remember my 6" 11" nephew and I'm glad I don't knock myself out on the average doorway or chance losing my head to a ceiling fan. I'm not sure if that's helpful but I feel your frustration.

I'm like Garfield, not over weight, just under tall.

I was 5'9"-5'10".

Now I am 5'7" or 5'8".

But I would LOVE it if things were just a couple inches higher.

You need to find an armpit to snuggle under.. wink

 

 

 

Sorry, sorry, sorry, but I couldn't resist.

DH has a cousin who is 4'10, maybe.....if she stretches. Man, is she one ball of fire.

you are being short shamed by the geeks! How tall are you when standing on your tippy toes? Maybe you could wear ballet slippers to work and get up on the toes to reach the towels.

I had no idea you were that petite, SB. Do you have to shop in the kids' department?

 No, but dresses are hard to find. I'm round and apparently fat means you are 6 feet tall so everything is always too long. Belk has the best petite stuff but it's usually still big in the shoulder area. My mother was around my height but thin and she would buy her slips in the kids department.

Where can I buy this? I'm certain that it would help Spouse's back pain problem. What would this be called on Amazon.com ???
