I'm a Dinosaur

I received some great news at work the other day. Thanks to great effort from FlyingV and RytheRed, we received an acceptance to a full-time offer from a second Michigan student. For the first time in who knows how long, our new hire class will contain two graduates from the University of Michigan. It's usually a rare event when a new hire class has one Michigan alum.

As great as it will be to add to the Michigan arsenal at work this summer and have large gatherings for Michigan football games next fall, it officially ends my privilege of free trips back home every year to recruit young and impressionable actuaries. I used to get two free trips home to recruit each year. This year, I was bumped from the Fall trip since we only needed to send two people, but I would have gone to campus for internship and full-time interviews today (and stay for the weekend) if I didn't have a work conflict. With two more people coming to CT next year, there's no chance in hell of me making anymore recruiting trips to Michigan in the future. I am now considered to be too old and out of touch with today's college students. So sad. No more free trips. :(

My day would be perfect if someone pointed out that my hair is turning grey.
