The Creeping Danger of Unresolved Conflicts

Can I vent for a minute, friends? I need to get this off my chest. Let me tell you about the computer problems I recently dealt with.

It all started after a routine software update. Suddenly, my computer refused to go to sleep. I checked all the settings and even tried to force it to sleep, but ultimately, it just wouldn't do it. And while it was annoying, it wasn't a big deal. But then, odd issues with my trackpad surfaced. The scroll wheel would spin, but the pages wouldn't move up or down until they finally jumped halfway down the page. At that point, things were becoming more frustrating.
