I'm not sure I entirely understand research funding. Sometimes it feels like the amount of work you need to do to write a funding application would be better spent just doing the work instead.

I don't understand why there are no secondhand stores except for clothes in Berlin. What do people do with things that they don't need anymore but can be used by someone else? Just throw it in the garbage?

Ibland älskar jag Sverige. Speciellt när jag kämpat med tyska myndigheter som helt saknar hjälp på engelska och mailar skatteverket och får svar på både svenska och engelska automatiskt.

I don't understand the business model of UPS. They are a company which delivers packages but they don't seem to know how to actually deliver a package? So do they just send packages around in an infinite loop?

I got so excited about an email with some research results that I went home from work without my bag. Only realised when I suddenly started to feel strangely naked on the tram because something was missing. And I had no book to read...

Berlin is sometimes strange to me because there are so many areas with abandoned buildings next to a river. In Sweden that would have been prime land with very fancy houses a long time ago. But at least now they have started to rebuild this area. It will be 900 new apartments.

I'm visiting the UK next week. First time back since I moved from there. It will be a bit weird. Like coming home but still not since I have no place to live there anymore.

I'm no good at the new airport feature "book a slot for the security so you can get through faster". It just ends up that I'm at the airport earlier because I'm afraid of missing my slot and I have to sit and wait for that instead 😄

Work is too exhausting. There is no way you can both recover from it and have time to do something else in just two days per week. So weekends become exhausting too.

Why do I always clean by moving all the stuff from one room to another?

The more I use jupyter notebooks the more I hate them. They should be banned for use in research.

I still don't understand the German system where stores are closed on Sundays. When do people manage to buy things? Or they somehow have jobs where they aren't completely drained on Saturdays and have to stay in bed all day to recover from the work week?

Today I was chatting with ChatGPT to get help with learning German and afterwards I thought "ChatGPT is really such a nice person". Then I remembered...

The body has started to burn again so I can't sleep. That's not a good sign 😞

Today I learned some very interesting things. Like that the lab arranges as a barbecue for all new physics students at the university to lure them in early to be interested in working with us. I like that kind of sneakiness.

So... Today I got the brilliant idea to uninstall Python on my work computer because I wanted a clean installation. And apparently if you do that when running ubuntu you break everything... But at least in the end I got a clean installation!

Hallo new machine. I hope we will be good friends. Or at least that you won't hate me and make all my measurements fail.

It sucks to be sick. And especially when you have a chronic pain condition because then your body will likely go into a flare and make everything worse.

I really need to learn German. I feel weird walking around and not understanding what anyone says. And more severe, I can't eavesdrop on people.
