I recently had a very popular article published in “The Actuary” (link below). It was called “Love-Laughter and Long Division”. It was a humorous article, where non-actuarial spouses provided anecdotes about their spouses uniquely actuarial behaviors. Due to the response, a follow-up is in the works. Now it is the actuaries turn to point out the things their non-actuarial spouses do, which drive the actuaries crazy.
Nothing is out of bounds, so use your imagination. One early responder was frustrated when their spouse came back from the supermarket with a single package of an item, when it was on a buy one get one free sale. In order to get the best possible stories I am reaching out beyond my own personal network for stories.
Please help me by sharing your anecdotes. The article will be written in a gender neutral fashion to protect people’s identities and no names will be used. Feel free to either respond to this thread or send me a Personal Message.
Thanks in advance
