Yes, it was harsh, and it doesn't happen every single time, but it 
happens enough that I can feel overwhelmed and have to choose something 
else to do with my time. And it's not like it's easy to forget all the 
previous times it happened (unresolved bugs have a way of keeping one's 
attention returning to them).

feeling powerless (while still bearing responsibility) is not a great 
position to be in.
