Where does it go?

Published by grandy at 3:51 pm under Challenges, Huh? Edit This

When I went to my sister’s place last week, I was very excited because I knew there would be a night where we would all be sitting around with our respective laptops.  I could ask questions about things, and we could share funny other things.  It’s a geek-challenged person’s dream to be able to hang out with her own little IT department.

Well, when my BIL directed me to a YouTube video I realized there was something missing.  My speaker had a big X over it.  It said that I had no sound system program thing in the laptop. 

 Zero volume control???  Really?  It was there when I left my house?  It’s not like it’s like my car keys or something, where I could just mis-place it.  What the heck?  Why am I feeling like the technology gods are mocking me??

My BIL looked at it and couldn’t figure it out.  HUH?!?  I don’t know that I have ever stumped him before. 

So…sure enough…when I got home on Friday the speaker was back to normal.

Of course NOW I can’t find that YouTube video he wanted me to watch. 

Bummer!!  All I know, is I rarely use the sound in my laptop but when I didn’t have it…it was missed.

Now I need to learn where to chain it up the next time we go on a playdate together.
