A couple of years ago an animated cartoon was posted here. It was about a very tired astro imager going to work and explaining to a co worker why he is so tired.
I've done a search here on the forum and on the internet and cannot find it anywhere.
Does anyone else remember it? Can you link me up to it again if possible please. :)
Thanks

Ok, so far I have found out it was created using "Xtranormal". I've searched all the Xtranormal cartoons on YouTube and haven't been able to track it down. :(
I'll have to use this bit of info to expand my search here on IIS.

After getting to bed at 05:00 after being up for 24 hours, yes.

Yep, a classic for sure Jeanette.
Scarey thing is I often think of this one when I'm out at 2am :lol: Complicated and futile - and hubble has already photographed everything anyway. Sigh.

What was your second point?

I relate most to
"It's official, my hobby consumes all my waking hours, and all my hours are waking".

LOL :lol: Going to have to show that one to my boss. A while ago she got us to fill out a sort of self assessment thing and one of the questions was list 4 things that she as a boss can do to help me achieve my goals. I put down 4 things and then added a 4 and a half: "Be understanding of my nocturnal activities" So now when I show up at work looking like I have been hit by a truck, she asks "4 and a half?" "Yep, 4 and a half" :D
