Think I might need to come up with a strategy as I'm getting invited to a lot of non work hours social stuff in this new job. I really just want people to know that's off limits for me without being impolite, getting pressured into going, or not "fitting in"

Good morning folks, hope y'all had a great weekend! I built my Nissian Skyline GT-R Lego set and it looks great. Now I just need to see where to put it... somewhere on my bookshelf.
I'm looking at the Financial Review online, and have just noticed that where other papers have a section for "money" they have a section for "wealth". Definitely a different clientele.
Edit: I just read an article stating that investors are starting to wonder whether owning a holiday home is "still" part of the Australian Dream. I am startled to learn that people ever thought it was.
So we updated to 0.18, less than 30mins later already had 120 bots already signed up. Wish we didn't have to turn on applications on :(
But custom emoji is going to be fun
I will try not to post too many of these this week, but man it's nice to be here.
I vote for more photos, plz!!
Nah, post more ey! Some of us need to holiday vicariously through you lol.
Beautiful pic!! 🥰 idyllic!
I just learned about monkeytype which is a simple typing test site to test your keyboard kung-fu. My first attempt and Bing tells me I'm a pro.. noice. Thanks, years of all-night mIRC when I was a teenager! Back in those days I could type flawlessly without looking at the keyboard OR screen, including ALT codes for ASCII symbols. And my dad told me I was wasting my life... LOOK AT ME NOW, DAD!

My partner got me to do this early on when we were dating. I think he wanted to show off his mad tying skills but little did he know that my claim of "addicted to the internet to the point I have brain worms" wasn't just me being cute. ~~I definitely schooled him~~
So happy that doggo slept through the night! Before we took her in for surgery she would wake up every night between 4-5am needing to throw up. Post-surgery she would get the crazies after 1am - crying, running around, wanting to go outside to do her business/throw up (sometimes all at the same time). Vet examined her/did bloodwork and said nothing suspicious came up so we figured it was due to her being in pain. Fingers crossed she's now on the mend (and that we can actually get some sleep this week).
Jeez, is it bed time yet?
My dishwasher seems to be on the blink and I just do not want to deal.
Apple says 11, BOM says 5. Decided to grab the beanie scarf and gloves on top of the jacket just in case. Good call. That wind makes it feel colder than it is.
I’ve noticed the stress and anxiety build up, both on line and at home, surrounding the purchase of Taylor Swift tix.
Surely there’s a German phrase for this very specific instance.
Does anyone else think about orcas wearing hats? Ever since I read the story, and saw the pics, I've been wondering what other silly fads they have and does this mean The Little Mermaid is a documentary?
Thank you past me for freezing portions of chicken curries, today I will defrost and make curry chicken pies.
Don't know why I thought now was a good time to reduce my caffeine intake.
Mild headache today and I've come home cooked AF.
Missing my home time espresso to perk up for the evening.
Was very hard to convince myself to put some veggies in the oven to roast
I was going to take today off and do nothing but the list of jobs is quite large. We shall see.
