Stair-climbing
As I virtuously climbed the stairs back to my office this lunchtime, and even more virtuously watched someone else go for the lifts, I realised that mine has been a life of easy virtue: I have never had any long-term job on anything higher than the first floor of a building.
- Student job at Ministry of Commerce (1990–1994):
- Ground floor
- PhD at the University of Cambridge (1994–1998):
- First floor
- Post-doc at the University of Cambridge (1998–2002):
- First floor (in the Bill Gates building)
- Current NICTA job, in RSISE building (2003–2007):
- Ground floor and first floor
- Current NICTA job, in London Circuit building (2008–)
- First floor
Exceptions: one month working for Inmarsat in London (quite high up), and roughly six months enrolled as a Masters student at VUW (second floor). With Inmarsat, I took the lift. At VUW, I took the stairs.
