Got super lucky at the Sacramento office last month when a guy caught that my old employer reported my wages under the wrong quarter. He pulled up the info right there and had it fixed before I even sat down good. Took maybe 15 minutes total and saved me from sitting on hold for hours or driving back and forth. Some of those front desk folks really know their stuff and it makes a huge difference.

The cast iron thing kills me cause that's such a rookie move, you never soak cast iron, water is literally its enemy. Lesson learned the hard way though, I get it. My tip if you ever get stuck with rust again, skip the steel wool and use a scouring pad with coarse salt and a little oil, way less damage to the seasoning. And yeah I defended a tiny apartment with a broken radiator for two winters telling everyone I "liked it cold" when really I just couldnt afford to move.
