What Stpid Thing Have You Done Today?

Last night, our IT people needed to perform some maintenance on our computers (remotely - they did not come in). When I came in this morning, my monitor was saying that it wasn't getting a signal.

Trying to wake the computer did nothing. I pushed the power button on the computer to reboot that way and got nothing. Cycled the monitor off and on - nothing. Pulled the power cord on the computer and powered back up. Still nothing.

As I was sitting there contemplating my next step, I happened to notice that the monitor cable was unplugged from the back of the monitor.

DOH!

Yeah, I feel kind of stpid.

(And how exactly did that happen? I really want to know.)
