If I stood up straight, my eye level was above the window. Also, glove boxes. The shorter group members could use platforms to raise their height but had trouble reaching the corners, while I had to do a mix of taking an uncomfortably wide stance and slouching. I wish they had been more suitable for my height... I thought everything would be better with taller hoods in my current workplace, but all they did was extend the sash to the floor.

When you said glove boxes, I was thinking about all the times I hit my head on the glove boxes and Kim wipe boxes that were mounted to the front of our hoods above the sashes.

You probably meant actual glove boxes, but it reminded me the corners of our glove box holders fucking hurt to bump your head into and I should move them someday.

You're not meant to stick your head in there, the whole point of it being so low is to keep you from breathing in the stuff that's in there

How am I supposed to identify all the unmarked containers of clear liquids if not by smell? You want me to drink them now??

Why are you putting your head in the hood?

Because three generations of assholes before me turned the formerly clear glass into a fully frosted nightmare of scratches.
