Me: Hi.

Coworker: Today is your last day before you leave for surgery, correct?

Me: Yes. I’ll be out for two weeks.

Coworker: Our manager indicated that I should hug you because you and I went to school together. I do not think that would be appropriate so I would like to offer you a handshake. *holds out hand*.

Me: Thanks *shakes hand*

Coworker: May your recovery speed be a positive outlier in your favor.

I feel that last line should be the actuary’s blessing.
