Rabbit was a whim, a species change almost two and a half decades ago on a MUD - and it stuck. I've tried other species: they're fun to explore, and shapeshifting's always a neat trick. But at the end of the day, residual self image is Rabbit. On the Rabbit scale of coolness (Bunny<Rabbit<Hare), I used to believe I was a rabbit striving to be a hare: which was, of course, my insecurity around just being a bunny.

The difference? Bunnies need people.

I can be... 'needy'.

Identity is a process.

So what is a Momentrabbit, when it's not a part of something else?

Tired. Chronic depression and a variety of soft-tissue breakdowns take a lot out of me.

Helpful. As much as possible, anyhow. Historically prone to overcommitting and underperforming: working on reversing those affixes.

Witty? Sometimes. Unable to resist a pun? Certainly.

Artist who can't hold a pen any more. Teaching myself Blender in retaliation.

Inveterate tinkerer. Maker of things, user of tools, bodger.

Queer rabbit.

Augmented Reality app that just gives everyone you look at some companion animal.

"Oh, you've got a great blue husky there!" "Thanks, I love your shoulder kangaroo!" "Love the tiny horses running around your shoes."

This would also make it like 500 times more likely I'd remember people's names.

Day 2.

Solar radiation's high - uv's 11+ if you can see, and for all I know the same if you can't. Star's mainsequence, G2IV maybe? Hard to get data, locallized EM disruptions seem to strike unpredictably. Last alert we got out of the environmental analyzer boilled down to "don't drink the water" - er. Pardon the pun.

Fortunately, the locals have developed a purification scheme involving fermentation and evaporation. Mixed with the local coffee analogue, quite palatable.

"day off" just means we do all the work that no one sees immediately

That said, by the time I was done rewinding and filing and cleaning and dismantling and reassembling the machine, I was producing three meter long parts reproducably accurate to 1/10 of a mm, first try. So there's a certain satisfaction. And I know it'll be a breeze to use tomorrow - and once I get the other coils reversed, I'll have far less trouble with it, and less deadlifting from floor to chest-height to manually feed clockwise coils.

Tonight's a bit achey and miserable, is all.

Spent several hours extra at work engaged in a sort of 'range of motion' physiotherapy-type rehabilitation, for a very specialized machine.This involved rewinding several 'mainsprings', two-foot wide steel coils some 150' in length, so they exit a cartridge in a counter-clockwise orientation. This reduces wear inside the mechanism and stops most of the jamming that's been eating time and ruining workpieces.

Not sure if I hurt more than I'm tired, or vice versa.

Hmm. Some secret variable has been exceeded in terms of 'number of people posting' and 'posting frequency', and I think it'd be best to assume I might not see anything you post unless I'm mentioned. The wall scrolls too fast on a phone browser.

Still the best... job. Ever.

And Tahiti?

It's a magical place. @.@

And now we discover just how bad Moment's boss is at dealing with operations, and are reminded that Moment _relies_ on his Manager being able to, well... *manage* him. Externalized Executive Function.

If I get through the day without being fired or arrested it will be a minor miracle.

Using the Folly to print adaptor and replacement parts for my CPAP gear. I should go and get fitted for a new mask, but it's pain in the rear. (Need to book at least three doctor appointments soon, sorting out the CPAP would mean a fourth...)

May also try printing some small drawer runners and bearings. Uses just keep appearing...

Broke off the five smallest radii of the gauge I printed last night - so, trimmed the broken bit off and made up a new bit for the missing radii. Ready to deploy.

can't believe they called it metroid prime when 4 is a composite number

I still get a thrill out of seeing this assortment of kit parts and home-brew draw a *perfect* circle in the middle of its buildbed with a tiny thread of molten plastic.
