Duh

I am such a moron. I got my laptop cooler to work. The problem: it was not turned on. I feel like an idiot. I emailed the company asking where I should send it to get it exchanged.

One of my most annoying experiences as network administrator was a teacher calling me into the computer lab for an "emergency". I was teaching P.E. when I was called away. The teacher needed his computer for the class he was teaching and it would not turn on. The problem was he had not turned on the monitor. A real emergency would have been the time a monitor started on fire (which did happen). Ironic that now I am guilty of the same stupidity I hate so much.
