Sometimes when working with white cis men and you are receiving rounds of unnecessary feedback on things they do not have authority on, you can channel your inner thoughts to graphic representations using the exact layout you are working within. It is interesting that these internal thoughts often take the form of the usual female-leaning placations, just accommodating in order to move on. Hopefully you can feel the drips of sarcasm in the spacing. Really, just frustrations coming out. I used to paint my middle-finger-nail black (only nail painted) for a period of time when I worked at Nike, this internal graphic exploration is perhaps a healthier way of adjusting to the system (in a collaborative setting). But eventually I am looking to get to the point where I have enough authority to just call out these people and shut them down in the moment.
* if you have reached this point and are a potential or future employer, recognize that this is a diary entry.
* If you have reached this point and are a student of mine, recognize that I too, understand struggles with authority.
* If you have reached this point and you are the person who was working on this thing with me and you recognize this graphic, know that I KNOW that you stole my ideas, but it is okay because I have a lot more of them and when you stole them the product you created would have been way better if I was helping.
