I have several F’s to G. Some involve work.
Well, I’m still working, so I hope others were able to pick up my slack today.

Gotta review some stuff for next week. And it’s a holiday Monday, so the Fs will be very, very sparse.
What holiday?
The first Monday in August is a Civic Holiday; it’s Simcoe Day in Ontario. 
Rest assured Monday will be quite F-less too.

Sweet merciful crap. Board meeting coming up, I was running 10/10 all week. Had meetings until 4:00 today, hit the brewery at 4:15.
At one point I was told my 2:00 meeting was being repurposed so I could present something. Which was news to me, at 1:30. Great, a half hour to make slides and prep.
Next time I go to Maui I’m not coming back.

How TF is it not Friday? I’m done with prep for the board meeting. I may field some questions but we are pencils down with all numbers. Turned everything over to Finance.
Tomorrow I’m doing jack squat. Weather is fair, might take the bike out for a lazy lunch.

You’re not considered finance? All actuarial roles at my company are in the finance org.
Long weekend with the family, so all out of Fs.

The preference (IMO) is to have a Chief Actuary report to the CEO. Over my career, I’ve seen actuaries in the Underwriting Department, in Finance, split apart and reporting to Line of Business heads (the biggest failure).
Anywho, gonna be hot tomorrow and wife is having work friends over. Might even have to put the House AC on (we have a portable AC upstairs so wife can sleep).
Right now: Upstairs it is 80.8 F. Downstairs it is 74.3 (in/out thermometer – outside it is 90 in the shade), 76 (thermostat) and 76.6.
The real issue is that the thermostat is downstairs and it is hot upstairs.
Wife will turn down the temp on the therm when she gets home.
Hm, ok. Probably wouldn’t work well in my org, the CEO only has the other C-suites reporting to him. The chief actuary reports to the life & annuities CFO, who reports to the enterprise CFO.
As a pricing actuary, I don’t report through the chief actuary, although maybe a quarter to half of the actuaries do if they don’t directly support a business unit. I report to my business unit’s CFO, who reports to the life & annuities CFO. Lots of CFOs.
Ew, gross. FInance?
When I worked in actuarial, almost none of the actuarial roles were anywhere near finance. They were associated with the line of business, i.e. group, life, savings, etc.
Ours are associated with the lines of business, but don’t report to the business heads because, conflicts of interest. I think it works pretty well! My bonus is tied to the performance of the company, not the performance of my BU, so that feels more independent too. I like it.
