Panic! At The Disco – Pretty. Odd.

April 3, 2008

Panic! At the Disco actually made a second album? I totally thought that they were going to burn out after their first album “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out” but apparently I was mistaken. I mean the first album was self-contained, and it’s fairly obvious that you can’t really go anywhere from it. If they released another album that sounded like it, they’d be accused of repeating themselves and it wouldn’t have the impact that the first CD did. Tack on the fact that ‘I Write Sins Not Tragedies’ got played to death, and you get a mixture for disaster should they continue on the path they were on.

They didn’t, which shocked me.

Not dead, just dead tired

So as some of you may have noticed, I didn’t post at all last week. Quite simply, this is because I spent pretty much every waking hour at work. Hell I gave up sleeping hours to be there to. Wednesday I was at work for 18 hours, got 4 hours of sleep, then went to work the next day for a fun-filled 31-hour shift. A word to the wise, if you are ever installing ISA server into your topology, for the love of all that is sacred and pure make sure you put it onto a separate server then the one holding your website. Trust me on this. Unless you want to be awake at 3 am, 6 hours before your project is being presented to 100 important people.

Another helpful tidbit: if you are tired enough, you can actually sleep on a cement floor! I proved this by passing out in our conference room for nearly two hours. I say passed out because it wasn’t sleep in any sense. I actually felt worse when I was roused. Ah well, such is my work-life.

Onto the random paragraphs that summarize my life in the past little while!
