How I love technology

FAIL: trying to write my paper and my laptops power cord is shot. Not Cool

This was the initial comment i made this morning when i went to begin my paper. What fallows is the frustrations of the day:

 

...so then i spent a hour and a half looking for a cord went to future shop to find out they didn't open for another hour...waited...found one at a computer parts store (three stores later), it didn't work. took it back. found out i need to replace the whole charger, and that the only way to get one is through dell....went on dells website, found one (70$ later) but it wont get here for 2 weeks...meanwhile i have a paper due on Tuesday and will be confined to a stationary computer to work on it, and looked up my warranty to see if it would cover it...but my warranty expired September 31, 2011....AHHHHH
