To the tune of We Didn’t Start the Fire...

(COURTESY OF A. N. Actuary):-

Annuity, mortality, morbidity, trauma,
Life insurer, super, business tax reform.
Consultancy, ethics, corporate responsibility,
Accountancy, audits, like a crystal ball.

AXA, AMP, demutualised monstrosity,
Internet safeguards, stupid Lotus Notes.
Politics, bureaucracy, Asian subsidiary,
IA, IL, long hours, work like hell!

We didn’t start the fire,
It was always burning,
Since the world's been turning.
We didn’t start the fire,
Well we didn't light it,
But we tried to fight it.

Assumptions, ten percent, different from experience,
Profit margins, underwriting, expenses up and down.
Timesheets, billing rates, Institute that all hate,
Balancing act, explanation, board member remuneration!

We didn’t start the fire,
It was always burning,
Since the world's been turning.
We didn’t start the fire,
Well we didn't light it,
But we tried to fight it.

Excel, Access, Prophet and the DCS,
Data problems, network problems, calling up Helpdesk.
Segregation, accumulation, projection, commutation,
Achievement of disagreement, IAS is in a mess!

We didn’t start the fire,
It was always burning,
Since the world's been turning.
We didn’t start the fire,
Well we didn't light it,
But we tried to fight it.

Meetings, standards, code of conduct, planners,
Basis one, basis two, forecasts unpredictable.
Caffeine, RPN, compound interest, office Zen,
PBO, ABO, Financial Services Reform!

We didn’t start the fire,
It was always burning,
Since the world's been turning.
We didn’t start the fire,
Well we didn't light it,
But we tried to fight it.

ASIC, impotent, APRA, incompetent,
Study crap, bloody dear, pass rate too low.
GIO, FAI, fair deal?, pigs will fly,
HIH, blown away, what else do I have to say?

We didn’t start the fire,
It was always burning,
Since the world's been turning.
We didn’t start the fire,
Well we didn't light it,
But we tried to fight it.
