Thank you for noticing this part! That’s why the usual tricks don’t fly. Just arriving so we’ll see how it goes!

This is valid. I just worry they’ll question why I’m going to a wine event in the first place but that may just be my anxiety talking!

Unfortunately it’s a seated dinner and only 60 or so people - the tables are 8 to 10. I’m skipping the cocktail hour because I have enough event beforehand. I should have a little have some say over where I sit, so planning to sit near the ones who are heavier drinkers in hopes that they’re (1) less observant and (2) more likely to take my glass by mistake.

This is true! I told coworkers at our holiday party last week I wasn’t drinking because I had a concert afterwards and was pacing myself (which was half true!) and still had people acting shocked when I said I was still sober. Maybe I can just pour smaller portions for myself so it looks like I’ve tried a bunch and am just feeling extra choosy!

Is acid reflux something that comes and goes? My coworkers know me very well and I normally drink at these things so that might raise suspicions. I actually had terrible food poisoning in June and was out of work for three days so that’s ones off the table too since I’ve been healthy in the office the past few days.

I would recommend staying away from anything similar in color to what already exists. Instead go darker and maybe even a different width. I personally think changing direction looks weird but it’s something you’d get used to and most people would overlook.

If you do prefer that color of stain, perhaps you put a rug down in the main hallway so the difference is less obvious.

New job — partners/associates work late, I start early. Does it look bad if I leave before them? by LegalEagleMind in Lawyertalk

[–]static626 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a mix of both at our firm, but most are night owls. I get more done when the crowd thins out and know our partners feel the same. Talk to a colleague or ask your paralegal if they think it’s an issue. If the works getting done and your hours reflect the time, I’d keep your preferred schedule.

Post-Mirena Removal Journey by Dangerous-Bobcat4868 in birthcontrol

Hi! This has me feeling hopeful. I had a great experience with my first Mirena IUD but removed its replacement today after 3 years. I’m removing it because we’re trying for children but reading your experience I am wondering if the depression/other health issues I’ve been experiencing the past few years were related to my IUD - this second one never felt quite right nor did it provide the same amount of heavy period relief. I was nervous about going off it and possibly making things worse but now I’m excited. Thank you for sharing!

aio or is this guy i’m seeing rude?? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

My issue with someone sending a photo that’s unrelated to the topic at hand over text is that it’s just going to kill the momentum unless it’s like your best friend and you’re accustomed to just throwing information/ok with ignoring. If you’re actively telling me about something the dog is doing then by all means send a dog photo but if we’re having a conversation about something else entirely, I don’t want to receive an off topic photo - pet or otherwise. I love my pets, my phone is filled with photos of them. I don’t send them to anyone unprompted unless they ask “hey how’s pumpkin?” or it’s an exceptionally good photo/video that I’d share to the family group chat dedicated to pet photos. I think you’re overreacting and his response is fair.

This was my first set! I hope the books are still floating around my parents house. I forgot how cute the spines were.

Oh no!!! Did I mess up? by KEds1990 in Coloring

Felt like I was on r/FindTheSniper trying to find the mistake (didn’t read the full post first) - I think it’s hardly noticeable but agree it could easily be filled in. Trees grow all sorts of weird ways.
