As we’ve been in the same house for over two years now, we decided that we should move things around a bit (Forces lifestyle, see. Get itchy feet after 18 months).<\/p>\n

\nWe’ve swapped the girls’ bedrooms over, and now we’re thinking of exchanging sewing room with study (I sometimes working from home, and the current sewing room is more private than the study; and wouldn’t have the girls’ computer in it). In preparation for this mammoth task, I’m going through some boxes that have remained essentially untouched since we emigrated. I’m currently running at six piles of stuff:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. rubbish<\/li>\n
  2. recycling<\/li>\n
  3. work-related<\/li>\n
  4. personal documents, memorabilia, stuff that we might need<\/li>\n
  5. RAF first day covers<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. things I don’t know where to put, yet<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \nIn one particular box I found some risk assessments, written when we were getting very ticked off with the whole unHealth & Safety Department nonsense. Here’s one, for example:
      \n\"\"<\/p>\n

      \nThat’s easy to deal with – I’ll recycle the paper and take the binder to work. But a large proportion of that ‘work’ pile consists of reprints.<\/p>\n

      \nAnd I seriously don’t know what to do with them. The papers themselves are all available online. There is a rainforest the size of Wales<\/a> worth of carbon locked in there. Do I sprinkle them like cherry blossom upon the poor unsuspecting students? Do I give them away so that when I’m (in)famous people will be able to hold a piece of my history in their hand? Do I instead sell<\/em> them with the promise that I will be (in)famous one day?<\/p>\n

      \nAre there, somewhere in the world, seventy-eight people desperate for a copy of Structural basis for the interaction between the Tap\/NXF1 UBA domain and FG nucleoporins at 1 \u00c5 resolution<\/em><\/a>)01474-2 ? <\/p>\n

      \nPlease, if you come across such a lost soul, send them to find me. <\/p>\n

      \nI’ll even share my risk assessments.
