So yesterday toward the end of the workday, HR Lady comes and asks me to take her computer down to the repair shop we use cause it's near where I live. I say no worries and get the thing loaded into the car. So...drive home, stop by the repair shop. HR Lady said she thought the power supply was burned out because she pushed the button and nothing happened. I took her word for it, didn't check it. Figured she'd talked to a sys admin.
SO...drag the thing into the store and they start plugging it in at the repair desk while I explain what she thought the problem was.
Guy pushes the button.
Computer turns on. Everything boots up beautifully.
Computer Guy: "So what was the problem?"
Me: "Um. It wouldn't boot."
Computer Guy: (Staring at the windows log in screen) "Seems to work."
Me: (turning eight shades of red) "Yep. Sure does."
Computer Guy: "So..."
Me: "Um. Huh." (long pause) "Guess you fixed it. Thanks!"
Computer guy laughs his tail off. I take the dumb machine back out to the car thinking up creative tortures for HR Lady.
Next time she has a computer problem I'm going to make sure the dumb thing is plugged in.
