Woah! Roscoe

Now if there were ever a day to be thankful that Woah! Roscoe is here, today is it.
Today I am sick, I fell ill last night coughing and spluttering, was up most of the night trying to find a comfortable position in which my head wasn’t burning with fever. This morning I told myself I was permitted to have the day off work on the condition I spent a good amount of time working on the comic.

So I got up this morning, turned on the computer and set up the tablet, then whilst everything was loading I went for a shower. On my return I had a strange message on my screen announcing my tablet wasn’t co-operating and was no longer allowed to be friends with my computer.

I was baffled – and tried everything to fix said problem. I swapped USB ports, I reloaded software, I read the user manual and everything, nothing seemed to help. Then I looked down. I saw the cable. It had been nommed.

My doofus of a cat Oliver seems to have a thing for cables at the moment and yes, he ate RIGHT THROUGH my tablet cable. I panicked. I truly believed this was going to mean finding a replacement tablet, which would take weeks and cost bucketloads. I didn’t know what to do, I started trying to get hold of anyone I knew who knew anything about cables. I resorted to phoning my work IT guy (whom if you recall bought me Smarties a few weeks ago).

Here is where I get to thank my IT guy, a few mere hours later he showed up at my house with a soldering iron, a syringe and a pocket knife and began to perform emergency surgery. He saved my tablets life. He bought it back from the dead. He bought Woah! Roscoe to you tonight. Without the IT guy – I couldn’t have done it.  Thank you IT guy, you make the world a better place.
