Taking another day off writing. Not for comic strip blog stuff particularly, but I did have a mentally exhausting day at work. Ended up in a two-hour session trying to work out why a set of reports that worked fine on the development and quality-assurance servers weren't working on production (in a testing mode). And, fortunately, did a lot of ``hang on, I remember something about that --- let me go check'' and coming back a moment later with some key piece of data that unraveled the thing. It probably would have been gotten working anyway, but I was a key agent in the way it did happen, and faster than otherwise. And, best of all, my boss was there and seeing me do all this real-time debugging of baffling issues, and explaining the logic of why they happened, up against the hard deadline of when we would have had to roll back all the changes made.
So I feel I've made a good impression at a key moment to my boss ahead of the reshuffling. On the other hand, this is, like the other thing I'm working on, exactly the sort of project to be moved. (In fact one of my coworkers spent some time today mourning how the project had been hopeless for ages, and we finally got it into respectable shape, and now transferred back it was going to be ruined.) Well, the important thing is I keep having an income and work that isn't too bad.
Anyway so here's some pictures of Roger from early June, as a pause between bigger events.
Roger is an inquisitive, curious bunny!
Also fast! Did I mention he's fast?
He doesn't quite yet know what my deal is with the camera.
What I don't know is how I could have taken this picture of Roger sprawled on the floor with my own foot there behind him. Seriously, what is this pose? How?
See? That;s my besocked foot right there. Also you can kind of see Roger's ear tattoo; good luck making it out.
A little bit of head-petting and all this fur falls right off. And he hadn't yet started his summer shed!
Seriously, he looks like he's falling apart here, yet there's always as much bunny as you started with once you're done brushing him.
Trivia: Goodyear started in 1929 holding an annual Zeppelin race for tire dealers. (The race was to see what dealers could sell the most tires; no actual Zeppelins were raced against one another.)
