Summer is gone, and administration tasks keep hassling me. I feel pretty close to being burned out due to those endless requests, dysfunctional services and headache-loaded paperwork. We were supposed to sign our new apartment today, but random requests from notaries that only started on the very last-minute first jeopardized and then postponed the signature. Luckily this is not the only challenge I’m facing, my N26 account is now finally French and requires to be changed everywhere, which allows me to finally get rid of my SG account, a bank I’m not willing to do business with anymore. And then there are several public services where only few processes function as expected, like the impossibility to change my freelance home address since I’m not a French citizen. Headaches all over, I’m very much looking forward to my final Tour de France weekend next week, where this decade-long loop cycling loop through France is looking forward to be closed.
