Were I a LinkedInfluencer, I'd post about what moving apartments abroad, largely on my own, when the lift in my current building has been out of action for 3 weeks and I don't drive, has taught me about resilience and self-reliance ... but if I ever become that person, I'll put myself in the sea.

Every now and then something comes along to remind me why I’m an academic and not something more dynamic. This time it is counting the number of injuries I have incurred whilst packing to move flat …. typing is apparently the only safe physical activity for me.

US service digitisation is utter chaos. The first flat I rented required an e-signed lease, but a security deposit paid by cheque (never written one in the UK - ever). Moving on Monday and I paid the deposit online, but had to print and hand in the lease IRL. Consistency? Never met her.

The gym in my building is currently closed. Fortunately the lift is also broken and I live in the 14th floor whilst the laundry room is 3 floors into the basement. So some 6 trips up/down 17 flights of stairs later & I’ve got clean clothes whilst getting a workout in.
