I needed a minor roof repair done. They sent out a guy with a broken arm that he got from falling off a roof. WTF.

Yeah, I’ll be he’ll be reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaal careful this time.

I walked into a meeting room for a group meet and greet with a couple of chief actuaries. One of whom was my boss’s boss. I was the first one there, other than one of the chiefs.

They looked up and said “hi” and “hope it’s not just you coming!”

Why thank you, I definitely feel very valued now. Maybe I’ll just go jump in a lake.

One time I got to a meeting early and it was supposed to be me and one other actuary who was slightly senior to me and some legal folks who had a meeting just before in the same room so they were all there waiting for us.

Other actuary was extremely long-winded and fairly cocky around non-actuaries (and while I’m not especially cocky, it’s really saying something if I’m the concise one).

They told me there was a bonus available for me if I could come with them to another office for the meeting and lie to my coworker and pretend that and all future meetings on the project were canceled.

Perhaps it’s company policy to foster social awkwardness amongst actuaries. Sounds like the chief actuaries are masters of how to have an awkward conversation.

I’ve given my fair share of google review blasts. I spent an hour reviewing a fence company once, it was thorough. And honest, I hired the wrong fence guy.

A violent lightning storm rolled through about 2AM. It didn’t last long, but after it woke me up I couldn’t get back to sleep for a couple hours.

Tap water always tastes funky near the ocean in this part of the country

I used to go to Houston all the time, and while the taste was fine, it was like 70° water. Just felt kind of gross.

I had some recipes that I wanted to make and now I can’t find them.

I found them…I had put them on the lower shelf of my end table

I wish I wouldn’t forget where I placed things
