It is considered that moving house is one of lifes most stressful events. So I am now in the pains of moving so it should all be stress city. Well it is, but not because of the moving house. That is quite easy really, you just phone a removal company up, ask them to give a quote, and then tell them to pack everything up and move it from A to B. I suppose things are simpler as I will be moving into River Song's existing flat in the New Year. We are looking for new places, but there is little around worth looking at, at the moment.
So if moving house is not causing the stress, then what is? Well just about everything else. You see it is not just me that is moving, but also most of my team of researchers (PhD students and Post-Docs). Now that means getting their contracts sorted out in the new University, transfering the grants and projects which are not moving, sorting out what happens to those who are not moving, working out what happens with the projects and grants which are not moving. There seems a million and one little things which need doing, and unlike moving house you just cannot phone someone up and pay them to sort it out.
In addition there is also the little matter of the Steve McGarrett of a birthday which is coming up this weekend. Now there will be no trip to Hawaii for the birthday, but the big five-0, will be celebrated by three days of celebrations.
