I Should Have Known Better

Well, I had my “duh” moment for the week (I hope it’s for the week—I’ve got too much to do to waste my time like this).

Anyway, for the past few days I’ve been doing battle with my computer speakers.  This morning for what I vowed was the last time, I unpluged and replugged in all the sound wires and restarted the computer—still no sound!  I figured it was time to break down and buy new speakers. 

Then I thought to check one more thing…the volume control on my desktop.  Yep, there it was: set to mute!  Boy do I feel dumb—that’s the first place I should have checked! 

My computer cords really don't look this bad, but when I'm trying to find the right one, it looks like this cord jungle to me!
It kind of reminds me of the old story about the blonde (yes, I am blonde…) who called the computer repairman when her computer wouldn’t turn on.  It turned out that she hadn’t plugged it into the wall outlet.
