4. You've been asked to deal with some of the strangest sounding problems with this redesign launch.

I hope you don't find it too aggravating.

Many years ago I was watching a computer-expert friend of mine try to fix a problem with whatever computer I had then, I think a Toshiba laptop. He kept trying things that didn't work, and I was about to go hit my head against the wall because I hate computer problems. He was SURE he had it figured it out when he tried something that took longer than any of the other attempts, but once again it failed, and he sat back and just stared at the screen. I thought he might be considering giving up, but he got a weird little smile on his face and said "Hmmmm, that's interesting" as if he'd been given the most amazing puzzle, a type of puzzle he loved.

I think I went and got a drink then.
