And here's what we got:
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!
I was once a student in college. During one of my summers I had a summer placement where I was put in charge with creating an entire CMS-based website for a certain not-for-profit company. To that note, there was not CMS, so I was expected to create that too. This company had many facets, most of which had their own way of doing things. I had four months to do this, and I was on my own. Did I mention that it also had to have a total multi-tiered user-management system thrown into it as well? Like I said, I was supposed to create a CMS-powered website.
Suffice it to say, things didn’t go well.
It’s been a while since I’ve done a personal post, and for the first time ever, I can’t even think of what to say. Usually I am bursting with witty remarks and enough sass for two, but alas, I just don’t have it in me today.
I guess I’m in a subdued mood for having gone to Dan’s father’s viewing. I’m not an expert with dealing with departed relatives, and so I’m hardly an expert on what to during these situations. I can say a couple things on it though, and if you’re still reading this, I’ll assume you will indulge me in my speaking of them.
I’m on a slight Sam & Max binge at the moment, so you will forgive my use of a quote from one of their many adventures.
I’ve been somewhat busy over the past little while what with work and all. I’ve finally started my job at The Revolution Night Club in Waterloo. I thought that my working from 10 to 3 in the morning would beat me up way more then it actually has. As long as I get a nap in before going to work, I’m fine. Besides, It allows me to wake up at 12 in the afternoon, which is some sort of accomplishment for me.
This is going to sound like an odd article, as I have yet to write anything on this site remotely reflective or contemplative. I don’t know why, actually but that’s just how it’s turned out. In any case, I was talking to Theresa on Sunday when the topic of my friend Norm moving to Japan. She commented on how she was jealous of those who have “free lives” or those who can just “up and do it.” She also made the comment that not all of them succeed, to which I responded with “those are the ones that lack the strength of character to see it out.”
