Ain't Technology Grand...?

Ok. 2:02am EST. I am surrounded by 2 IBM ThinkCentre workstations, an IBM AP1 server and associated hardware, an HP laptop (my personal one), an HP notebook (my dearest and beloved's), a cell phone and a speaker phone. Of the 5 computers, ONE is working properly! The server's exhaust fan failed about midnight, causing it to overheat and shut down, taking the workstations with it. Both the speaker phone (connected to our hardware support company) and my cell phone (connected to IBM support - THANK GOD for unlimited overnight minutes!) are quiet right now. Every now and again one or the other will speak as they try to figure out how to email me a new exhaust fan motor (which is what I really need, but can't get my hands on right now). I even went and got one of our Rigid Airmover 1600's from the maintenance shop (which we use to dry pool decks and carpets and stuff) and cranked it up, but to no good use other than blowing several years worth of dust all over my office. Whilst that is going on, I am simultaneously trying to save my ancient HP Pavilion ze2000 laptop from the Blue Screen of Death (Tm, Microsoft, company motto "Why fix it if it's going to break anyway?), aka a fatal hardware error. However, I found a fix for the BSoD online, and had just started running it when all the other fun activities (for which I am actually being paid) kicked in. To assist in this my darling wife loaned me her notebook, at the sacrifice of no Internet access for a whole night at home, and that is what I am typing on right now. Needless to say, this is rediculous bordering on farce. About $15,000 in computer equipment and a $1,200 laptop are being thoroughly outperformed by my wife's $300 notebook. I should work for the Defense Department in procurement.....
