Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Meow Cat

Following on from cakeyvoice's reasoning about why she wants to live in Japan...I figured I'd try and bring a bit of happiness into the bleakness that is my work.

Sadly, office jealousy and insecurity led to an incident which almost spelled the end for Meow Cat. However, having spent a years quota of colour printing and a considerable amount of my time (well work time), I wasn't going to let Meow Cat go without a fight...

... much time passed. How much I could not say, but by the time I was finished my coffee was tepid...

As I pulled back from the operating table, I looked at what I managed to achieve and was pleased. No longer would people stop and stare as they looked over my shoulder at his hideous disfigurement. He would no longer be pointed at by small trainees shouting paperclip leg, franken-cat and other obscenities.

Whilst prosthetics are few and far between in this area of medicine, the technology behind them is advancing. In the future I may upgrade his leg to include rockets or lasers, but we'll see how standing next to the window withoug falling over goes first.
