                      Do not disturb the Happy Fun Sean

What I thought was going to be a very simple operation [1] of “take the old
video card out, put the new video card in and we're good to go” wasn't. And
as typical of when one problem leads to another problem which leads to yet
another problem, I get very focused while at the same time I get extremely
angry. As the issues pile up, as I'm reading scores of web pages with
conflicting information (that is, when they have an answer [2] out of the
hundreds of pages checked) and I'm building up this huge fragile (It must be
Italian) [3] structure in my mind of everything I've tried, what I've yet to
try, and futher questions to answer—

“What would you like for lunch?”

[Okay, it's a pyramid of dominoes that's collapsing and not a house of cards,
but work with me people! It's not that easy to find the right animated gif of
a house of cards collapsing.] [4]


And it collapses like a house of cards, leaving me to start all over again.

I'll admit, it can be hard to distinguish between this and “very focused
while working in a program” just prior to the house of cards collapse, but my
response in the former is a primal scream while the my reponse to the later
requires scraping me off the ceiling.

Bunny has learned to live with it.
