I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yay new shiny car!
Consuela, how consistent that the job will end on that note.

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

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
So for a get-well card for boss lady, I drew a picture on the back of a stick-figure-her with her faux-hawk pushing a lawn mower and squiggly track of grass leading off behind her. Above is a banner declaring the Mowing Olympics. Below are ten stick-figure judges from various countries holding up score cards, nine of which declare a ten, and one that doesn't. My inscription is "Nine out of ten ain't bad". I'm such an asshole, and can't stop cracking up everytime I think about it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So since I have moved, my now 8-yr-old car has gotten dinged the fuck up by others. Side-swiped, bad parallel parkers in the front AND back. It isn't bad enough that I look like I got in a wreck but it is dinged.
Should I get a paint job or just assume that more dings will follow?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Assume dings, le_n.
Juliebird, if that had happened to me, and you sent me that card, I'd laugh so hard it would open my stitches. Even if they are on the end of a finger.

And now I can't open stupid WF secure messages. I just doesn't DO anything.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
if an advisor/adviser tried to sell me on a legal distinction, I would never stop laughing
That's interesting. Well, for our ~7K advisors, it's a definite licensing distinction, even if people outside the company don't care. If you're not a licensed IAR (investment adviser representative, in our lexicon) then you can't call yourself an adviser.
IT might be sloppy about it, but Compliance and the people who review client communication will absolutely send you to bed without your supper if you cock that up.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
What ita ! said, right down to the bit about the folks at Compliance coming after you if you don't do it right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So this is the difference between my grandmother and me (and my mother): She just called to see if I know anything about my parents' flight being delayed, because she's seeing bad weather on the TV, and she doesn't want to be up all night worrying. (a) My mother would never call me to tell me their flight was delayed, because (b) I would never worry about them getting in safely. In the absence of any other information, they are fine! Delayed or not.
