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.

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!
