All that before you cross the opposite threshold. You’re not flying an SR71. This stuff happens slooooooow.

“WHO’S PUSHING???”
”Spirit.”
”WHO TOLD TOU YOU CAN PUSH???”
”You said “our discretion...””
”YOU STILL HAVE TO CALL FOR PUSH!”
And then there’s “Climb via the SID except maintain 4000”
And my personal favorite is the gal working clearance who reads full route clearances in her best Air Force high speed low drag voice. She’ll repeat herself three times without slowing down, as we keep asking her to “say again, you’re going too fast...”
Yeah. Not surprised you didn’t get an altitude on your go around...
