In fact after being measured at the hospital for the research it seems that I'm 1cm shorter than Mrs Stace.<br /><br />But I also have an amount of international colleagues (Isreli, Frech, Indian and South African) and I was a little taller before the heels. A lot with.<br /><br />I have realised just how tall a couple of my Dutch male colleagues are though. Even in 8cm heels (putting me at 182cm) I am shorter than most of them!Stacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-24571651194911721352012-07-08T09:56:25.869+02:002012-07-08T09:56:25.869+02:00Thanks!

He was quite high in banking and had something of a breakdown due to the way that the bank was treating both the staff and customers and decided that he wanted to start a company where people only had to worry about being themselves and doing a good job (for the customer and the company).<br /><br />I guess he managed it :)<br /><br />I think that once I have my passport the rest should fall into place. The only one that I can see being a problem is the HSBC (their processes are terrible, and really insulting) and to be honest if they insist on being as useless as they have been over the last few years (both for my transition and other issues) I'll just close the account, I am not sure I need a UK account any more anyway!Stacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-86201870785997054332012-07-08T09:49:03.156+02:002012-07-08T09:49:03.156+02:00The weird thing is that it feels like yesterday, b...The weird thing is that it feels like yesterday, but it also feels like a lifetime.<br /><br />I have heard others say that they could not remember what it was like before, and even after this amount of time I have to say it's getting hazy.Stacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-89151154081464035752012-07-08T09:44:35.152+02:002012-07-08T09:44:35.152+02:00To be honest I can't blame the EU here, the pr...To be honest I can't blame the EU here, the problem is more the ridiculousness of the UK passport agency. They won't give any information about what is needed - You must send us the right documentation, no we can't tell you what that is but if you don't send it we will take the 200 euros anyway and just return your application.<br /><br />The Dutch doctors are loathe to give you the letter saying that the transition is permanent unless you have started on hormones - and as I had to wait that was a problem for me.<br /><br />I'll get there, just more stress than I was expecting.Stacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-17891227368315335112012-07-08T08:09:19.212+02:002012-07-08T08:09:19.212+02:00So glad that the last 6 months have gone really we...So glad that the last 6 months have gone really well. Just realised that I hit my 6 month mark tomorrow.<br /><br />Heels are fabulous. I wore some to a work's meal the other week and was chatting to one of the guys that I've worked with for over a decade. He's about the same height as me but suddenly I was towering over him.<br /><br />Hope that the next 6 months go just as well. Here's to the 12 month mark.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08410714441581467404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-54300649536307713382012-07-07T22:41:44.819+02:002012-07-07T22:41:44.819+02:00Wow.
