14 months for a $52 library fine seems like a lot. Like, I get that it was annoying, but your transcript request was bouncing back as incomplete, not getting denied forever. A few phone calls and a payment should have handled it way sooner than over a year. Brenda sounds great, but honestly the fix was probably always just paying the fine. Is this really a big deal or just a slow moving headache?

A tiny desk fan for 40 bucks is not really a deal, sorry. Those little USB ones go for like 10 to 15 dollars and they move the same amount of air. What you're really paying for is the brand name and maybe a nicer stand or a quieter motor. The cheap ones can get loud and rattle after a few months so that part matters a bit. Still, 40 is a lot for something that only cools your face. Next time check the airflow rating, that's the number that actually tells you if it works. If it's the only thing keeping you sane at that desk though, then hey, money well spent lol.
