I know.
Okay, so just funny to me, then.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Jon, ask ND. He mocked my blondeness in the back of the trolley where he thought I couldn't hear, forgetting I have teacher!hearing.

Jon was picking on you Kristin about...something, I'm not sure what now, and I made a comment along the lines of, "Hey, be nice, she's blonde!"

Yeah--funny how I knew who it was without even looking!
("I heard that! That has to be Drew!")

I can't even.
See, Drew had to have been the kid who caught crap for that in class all the time. 90% of the time, it was a fair cop, but that 10% really burns.
t project much? Nah.

Yeah, it kinda comes with the territory. Calling my name is pretty much the easy guess.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Actuaries don't guess.
S'true. In the words of Dilbert, the only sensible way to make business decisions is to pluck numbers out of the air, call them assumptions, and calculate the net present value.
Of course, you have to use the right discount rate, otherwise it's meaningless.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It was actuaries that invented NPV? I hate you all.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It was actuaries that invented NPV?
I think the answer is "no." Actuaries do things like calculating NPV, except they incorporate probabilities of future events, like, say, someone dying in the case of a stream of retirement payments.

Using it is bad enough. Who made it up?
