my overarching goal is to never have to deal with that shit.
Yep.
Sometimes a thing gets broke, can't be fixed.

hip deep in pie
My dad had a massive heart attack at 56 and did all the right things after. It did Improve his health but the damage from the first heart attack has been responsible for a valve replacement, a bypass and the insertion of a pacemaker/defibrilator. But he's not had another heart attack. As soon as he recovers from this hip replacement surgery, he'll be a relatively healthy 86 year old, with some replacement parts.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Having my crockpot cook my dinner for me while I'm at work is not really a huge time saver, but walking in the door to discover the house smells deliciously of Hawaiian short ribs is pretty great.

Ok, Jesse, I have something like 5 hours of Going Deep on my DVR.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Sent out a notice to all staff about something I was going to do tomorrow, any questions, ask me. Got questions, lots of them, answered them, but got pissed off that they were basically questioning my judgment and whether I'd considered all the angles (on a routine but not often task). In the end, while waiting for the nervous nellies to give the all clear on me going my task, I finally get the ED, the instigator of the nervous nellies, to say he'll defer to my judgment.
Dude, lead with that. I know what I'm doing, and that is far more than you do. I've done this same task over the past five years. I'm being transparent by letting you know what I'm about to do, not actually looking for an oversight committee.
And yet, I feel belatedly like an ass for getting aggravated over the interrogations because I specifically ask At every announcement of my task if there are any questions. God, I need Prozac.
