How's the weather up there?

I just saw something on CNN about people being worth $800 per inch. (Don't go looking for the video, as it only focuses on men and doesn't touch on the concept of tall women at all. deeablo, we're mutants! They won't even acknowledge us!) I checked into it very quickly on Google and saw that shortsupport.org cites a study saying short people are, on average, paid $800 per inch less than taller coworkers per year. So if they're saying that people really ARE worth $800 per inch, my annual salary should be $57,400. Let me tell you, if I figure out my current salary off that $800 per inch scale, I'd be a midget! No, REALLY.

Perhaps I can use this study for some leverage when it comes to annual review time... ;)

Yes, I know that the study doesn't actually mean that you get $800 per inch, but instead that shorter people are shafted because of their stature, and overall EVERYONE may be getting screwed in the salary department. I just like thinking I'm worth a lot more than I'm currently paid.

See, I read that as square inch instead of height inch and just spend about three minutes trying to figure out how to get the square inch of me. Clearly I failed algebra. Also, I'm a dork. Done now. =)

*loves you very much*

Does this mean that my sister, who is five inches taller than than I, will make more than I will even though she didn't go to college?
