I had updating to do and posts to write . And if you know me at all ( which a lot of you do after 4 years on the web ) you know I tried to plug the mouse in again ... and I was defeated . Again .

Question: Why did the speaker feel defeated after repeatedly trying to plug in the mouse ?
Answer: They were trying to plug the USB into the HDMI port and ended up confusedThey needed to submit a job application by a certain deadline and needed the mouse to workThey had tried multiple times and could n't get anything to work so they were frustratedThey were trying to play a joke on their friend by unplugging their mouse and could n't figure out how to repair it
