Anyone want to lend me a sledgehammer?

OK.
This is MY car, the one we put a new friggin' engine in last year.
I'm home sick, so I'm not in a pleasant mood anyway, but this is too much!
I'm checking out online what the problems may be, and we do have a really good place to work on our vehicles.
You turn the key and - nothing. Not even a click.
BUT- I do have Cingular Assist on my NON-WORKING cell phone, so someone can come and TOW me to the repair shop if I can't get it started.

Hitting the key and getting nothing at all could be a very dead battery. It may also be a bad starter or solinoid on the starter. Do the headlights work?

I'd offer to help but I can only work on cars made by Ford, before 1979.

BWAH!
Thank you - needed that. (I need to put that back in my sig line.)
And yes, the headlights work.
And now, upon closer reflection (and hobbling out to check it again) there is a bit of a noise. It isn't a click, but rather a CLUNK.
I am so fucked today.

2 guesses. Either the battery is almost dead and doesn't have anouth juice to turn the engine over. The clunk in the starter engaging then not being able to turn the engine over. The 2nd guess is that the started is dead, or mostly dead.
Probablly could be lots more things. I'm only fair at playing Auto Doctor.
If there is someone else available. Turn on the headlingts and then start, or try to start the car. If the headlights get REALLY dim while the starter is trying to turn it's probablly a battery problem. It may not be a dead batter, it could just be a bad connection somewhere or corossion on the battery terminals. Got AAA?

I have Cingular Assist - same as AAA. If I can't get 'er started, they will tow it for free. I have to call the car boys, see if they can work me in today.

Thanks all. Just tried to jump it but no dice.
BUT the cables are horribly dirty, and the jumper cables are pathetic. I called my hubby. He's coming home and he's going to stop and get new cables and a new connector cleaner before he gets here.
Next step - new battery?
No clues as to this problem, though. No extra cranking, nothing like that. So it sounds like battery to me - worked fine yesterday, today nothing.
Thanks everyone - what a great place to let off steam and get sympathy from friends!!!!!

Your battery terminals are prob'ly dirty amd corroded. Pour some coke on them.
I think my battery is all dead.
And the terminals are disgustingly corroded.

Ah, good. Lovely pic.
Well, it isn't the battery.
Damn it.
But that makes sense. WHY would it be something easy and inexpensive?
So we're calling our auto boys, see if they can work it in today.
Fuck.
