Your Quotes for 26 March 2006 - Frustration

Last night, just as I was about to start choosing quotes, my internet connection died. As I spent half of today working with my provider to locate the problem (it was on their end, but I was far too frustrated to just enjoy the day and let them fix it) I got my e-mail in dribs and drabs. One message was from Camilla, who had suffered her own computer crash and was frustrated to learn that she had lost the file she had been saving her daily quotes to! Her request for quotes on Frustration resonated with my own feelings.
