So, in the past one and a half minutes I have:

[1] dropped the laptop battery out of my laptop and now my laptop won't power on.

[2] dropped my backpack because one of the straps caught a chair I was sitting in.

[3] knocked the chair over due to aforementioned backpack.

[4] knocked some chapstick out of a side pocket on the backpack as I tried to wrangle the whole thing back together.

It's going to be that day.

Wow, I would have to say your not having a good day at this stage of the game. Relax and try again.... (Yes it's easier said then done).

Gee, maybe there's a career opportunity for you when Mr. Bean retires.

So far I haven't wrecked my truck, so there's that.

Any luck on the laptop? Does it power off AC with the battery removed?

Or is it DC? I can't remember.

It's running fine off the power cord, but the battery is done. Only about $25 on Amazon for an inferior replacement though, so there's that.

Hmm. An old batt shouldn't prevent power up (in conjunction with a power cord) unless you did some internal damage when it dropped... 25$ isn't bad at all for a replacement though.
On a small side note. I practice and recommend to people when using a laptop in a not on-the-go capacity to remove the battery and use just the cord. That is just to prolong the life of the battery and limit charge cycles. Obvious caveats are obvious, cord gets unplugged you lose work.
I do have a spare Chromebook if you need an alt for a bit

I don't know if you can see the cracks real well here.

The replacements are less KWH, less maH and less voltage. Apparently HP doesn't make these OEM anymore.https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/xVYKU61O8BEmI81onSmQKBnKwLIikqLfnnpLax7sBl1ZMyeeeNlrDQfNDWUmD0K4UT5r2Cif1dM

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
