俗话说：’福禄双至，祸不单行’，今天我终于体会到后者了。和以往一样早上起床还不算太晚，洗漱完毕，匆匆收拾物品，这时发现外面还在下着小雨而且风有3-4级，不知道今年是咋搞的，沈城的天气糟糕透顶，已经好久没有体会到艳阳天的感觉了。

顶风冒雨到食堂买好了早餐，又疾步冲到公司，冷风把手冻得那是相当的凉。到公司第一个要做的工作就是开机，我用的是自己的本本，公司配的台式机虽然性能超群，但是自己已经看不惯CRT显示器了。等我打开笔记本包才发现我的电源线没有带，我每天晚上用完本子后只是把本子放到包包中，因为我怕有小强之类的生命体寄生在我的本本中，对于电源线我只是拔掉后放在桌子上，第二天早上再装包，这下得到’报应’了，估计我的电源线不满了。心里一想，反正自己还有台式机呢，中午再回去取电源线也不迟，而且上午还有一个项目总结会，用电脑的时间应该不是很长。我就顺手按下了台式机的电源，可是等了半天，那个CRT显示器也不亮，我又重启了两次电脑，插拔几次电源线后，发现问题依旧，这时才意思到问题严重了，我这台式机可是一个月之前刚刚换的HP品牌机，怎么这才几天就不行了呢，况且这期间我使用它的次数屈指可数。HP呀让我怎么才能相信你的质量呢？真是’祸’不单行呀。没办法了，报修，然后冒雨回去取电源线，总不能不干活儿吧，遂打开伞，消失在风雨中^_^。

设备修理的同事效率还很高，等我取回电源线后，发现显示器已经’起死回生’了，问旁边的同事到底是如何弄好的？同事笑着回答说："电源线接触不严"，我自己插电源线的时候可是使了很大劲儿的哟，怎么还能接触不严，心想以后自己买电脑坚决不买HP的，HP的服务也许是金牌的，但是质量这么差，服务再好又能怎样。严重气愤，害得我在寒风中白跑那么远！
