Astrophotographer animated cartoon

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

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

I remember that one too Jeanette, will have to go searching....

[MrB (Simon)]

Hah yeah I remember that! Will have a search too.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

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.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

ha ha ha
I did the search, it came up with an answer, got all excited, I clicked the link, and came right back here.

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

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 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"

LOL!!! that was great! I may have to email that to everyone i know so that they can understand the all consuming hobby of ours.
