Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I know this is a random question, but do people know what stocks are in their 401k? I don't, but apparently I need to for my background check.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, that's why I have mutual funds or whatever. I mean, right?

I know what mutual funds are in my 401K and the percentage allotment of payments to each, but not the individual stocks they contain.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I feel like I should, but because I signed up in my 20's I just ticked the box marked "I'm not retiring any time soon" and let Principal pick the mix of funds.

16 kids in my last class, 4 turned in their assignment. What part of "this is being graded" didn't they understand? Oh well. I am leaving a very detailed note for their real teacher.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I'm a little late to the party regarding your coworker Sophia, but it seems to me that she's gotten a bad rap. She went out of her way to be sensitive and to be helpful and offer what she thought were good solutions.

Now, she's wrong, that's not the issue, but calling her a horrible person and saying that she's a terrible coworker is unfair, when it seems that she was honestly trying to help.

I don't know what is in my TIAA-CREF account (403(b)), but I do get a run down of what is in my investment account w/ my financial adviser.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I may need to officially report my 401K investments to my job, now that I think about it. The financial sector is confusing.

Everything about the financial sector confuses the hell out of me and I remain very glad that so far I've had to have nothing whatsoever to do with it.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Your situation may differ, bon. But I've only had to report mutual funds, not the securities that the funds hold.
