Finally, after a week of being too down or too out of it, or too something to go into the Darkroom, I take my new toy in tonight. Undoing the power cord, I realize that there's no quick switch. It just plugs in. I figure they expect every amateur developer to have a 100 dollar friggin darkroom timer, and not just the battery operated one they give you IN THE KIT THAT COMES WITH IT!!! So that was okay, I was able to figure out how to deal with that. I think mom and dad have auto switches, or dad can make one for me.. one or t'other. Then I go to plug it in to use it however I can.
It doesn't work. I checked the outlet by resetting with that test thingy that you have in bathrooms, and with putting other things in the outlet. Everything was fine with those, but not with the enlarger. So I removed the lightbulb, checking to see if it was broken or not. No shakin in it, so I knew that couldn't be the problem. So I reseated it, thinking that might be the problem. NOPE! Its broken. I haven't even used it and its fuckin broken. I hope to God I don't have to pay to send it back. GRRR. You would figure this would happen the weekend I'm sending my other enlarger up to Katie. Well hopefully I'll get to do some printing up there this weekend. I don't know how I feel, but I don't feel happy right now.
It was the bulb. I can't believe it was the bulb. I'm now going to scream. Thank you.
AHHHHHHH.

At least they're sending me a new one.
