Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2008Snow zoomie video
OK, I only caught the tail end of the zoomie, then Caliban stopped to try and pick up a message from the Mothership (see his ears swivel): http://s120.photobucket.com/albums/o185/frankiennikki/?action=view¤t=MVI_0 617.flv or http://tinyurl.com/yq2c5l  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

Ooo! Ooo! Swivelling ears, my favorite kitty thing! But I'll have to wait until tomorrow to watch this - for some reason, my computer just can't deal with that site. It's definitely my PC, it's old and slow, and can't deal with sites that have a heavy load. So I'll save the link and watching this tomorrow at work. (Jobs can be very useful that way. :)) Joyce SignatureTo send email to this address, remove the triple-X from my user name. > OK, I only caught the tail end of the zoomie, then Caliban > stopped to [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > http://tinyurl.com/yq2c5l "Photobucket Site Maintenance Images and videos will continue to serve during this short maintenance." 08:30 UTC.

Annoying it may be, but give us network geeks a break. Sometimes stuff just happens. A card may fail, wiring may be crinkled, server may have "issues". It's not our fault and we're trying to get it going again as quickly as we can. Had one of those at work today. It didn't help to have the executive staff standing just outside the switch room demanding updates every 5 minutes (What went wrong; what are you doing to fix it; how are you going to keep it from ever happening again)! Sorry to vent here. Sam, supervised by Mistletoe >> Yes, wasn't that annoying.

I didn't mean anything against network geeks or anyone else who helps keep the systems up and running. It's just that I spent two days trying to upload the video *some*where - anywhere - and it wouldn't load. Then I finally got it loaded to Photobucket, and moments after I posted the link, they shut down for maintenance. Just venting my own little frustration there. Friends? :) SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. > Friends? :) Of course! Guess my stress just ran into yours. No biggie!

That seems to be a pretty universal problem in the IT industry. When something goes belly-up here at the phone company ISP group, we can count on at least one, sometimes up to 4, upper-level managers standing around our floor looking over our shoulders, interrupting constantly to ask what we're doing, why we *allowed* it to happen in the first place, etc. Don't you just love it?

IT: When you fix something, you're God. But if you have trouble or take "too" long to fix it, you become the punching bag. That is *not* a job I would want...

I know what you mean. The best example that I have seen is when I was working in a control center (phone company). A fellow tech was working on trouble where the entire switch was down, town was isolated. He had the tech in central office and Tier 2 support on the line trying to get it back up. The third level manager was standing over his shoulder firing off questions and suggestions. My co-worker finally laid down the phone and politely said, "I can listen to them, or I can listen to you. Which do your prefer?" The manager backed off. A smattering of applause came from across the room, but it abruptly stopped when the manager turned around. Who me?? <g> And back on the original subject, Caliban sure can work those ears. I don't think I've ever saw any of ours do it quite like that. L. >> Had one of those at work today.

I think that pretty much describes the workings of his brain in general. He ttries to tune in, but he only gets static. ;) SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. lol! How cute. Barnabus will be happy to see his winkwink is the one doing the chasing. I wonder what Caliban heard that caused him to stop so suddenly and go into radar mode? Whatever, it was cute. Julie > lol! How cute.

Heh, I think he was supposed to chase Mir, but then he forgot what he was doing. That seems to happen to him a lot. :) SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. This happened before I shot the above vid. The cats were rushing back and forth, in and out, and it's too dark inside my flat to get good footage, so I just got short clips of when their zoomies outside: http://s120.photobucket.com/albums/o185/frankiennikki/?action=view¤t=MVI_0 616.flv or http://tinyurl.com/yofl7v SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

I love all the little pawprints all over the enclosure. |
