This scenario happens more often than I'd like admit, but the important thing is to have fun right? I'd challenge any programmer that says they've never had code that looked like it should work fail, only to get it to work when you feel it shouldn't. Sometimes programming can be an arcane art. That's why I always keep a goat and gothic candles close at hand!

If you know of any other stages to programming let me know. We've chose to omit the one where you grab your keyboard and throw it through your monitor. I have gone through these four multiple times though, and the omitted one only twice.
