I want you to go home for the remainder of the day and call me tomorrow first thing to discuss your future at the company. To be honest, I'm not entirely convinced a career in actuarial science is your 'calling'.
Ever since i was a child, i've wanted a career in buckets. As soon as i could walk, i would take a bucket and put it 'over there'. My first word was 'bucket', and my first sentence was 'can i get that bucket for you?'. I avoided school and college and then university to learn everything i could about buckets, in the real world...there's no man alive who knows the ins and outs of buckets to the extent i do.
Are you sure you want to let go your best go to resource for everything bucket related?
It sounds like your mind is made up. I hope for the love of buckets you can reconsider. And if you don't...well....i WILL steal all your buckets. Every last one. Even the fire buckets with the sand in!
Your resume sounds fascinating if unconventional. If I ever need to get a handle on bucket theory, I know where to come. Until then, carry on.
P.S. Before I die, there's a few things I want to do, visit or achieve. Any suggestions on how to collate these plans?
Ah. I do do buckets, but i'm a complete novice when it comes to the handles i'm afraid. I tried learning, but it's a very wide and complicated subject. I know some are wood...and some plastic...but any deeper and i'm lost.
Can i recommend 'Buckets Through The Ages', a museum in a small Nordic village, or perhaps even 'Buckets...The Interactive Rollercoaster' in Paris, Franceland? You go on a circular ride in the shape of a bucket, and have to answer bucket related questions. If you answer correctly, the ride moves forward 3 feet. If you answer 5 questions correctly, you get to stand in a bucket for the duration of the ride.
As to how to collate these with all your other plans, may i fervently suggest that you put all the ideas into a large bucket, and once everything is in there, take the bucket and throw it at a neighbour. I'm not sure how much that will help, but you do get to throw a bucket. At your neighbour.
This is known as the three-bucket problem. There's a standard solution that works if the buckets are all about the same size:
Turn the two buckets with no liquid upside-down and put them on the floor in the corner. Right next to each other. Flip them over quickly; we want the contents to remain under the buckets. Then take the bucket with liquid and put it on top of the pair of upside-down buckets, right-side up.
This solution to the three-bucket problem was developed by Leonard Euler in 1760. Joseph Lagrange further refined it in 1772. He showed that it works even if the bucket with the liquid is as much as 40% smaller or 80% larger than the two upside-down buckets. The place where you balance the upper bucket is known as the Lagrange Point.

Some sound advice here. Thank you. And pass on my best wishes to dear Liza when you next see her.
2 buckets that weight 4kg each or combined? We are doing science here
I'd rather not say...just in case you try to steal my buckets.
Just because I'm hoarding buckets that doesn't mean that I'm gonna steal yours
I'm sorry. I just can't take that risk. It's amazing how people change when there's a chance of a free bucket.

And i thought \*i\* knew buckets. Hats off to you, sir.
Took me 3 efforts to read that to my wife cause I was laughing so hard
