Exclamation Short Fuse?

Howdy Guys,

Ok, with the "Peashooter" being the last model I completed (last weekend), I sat down and resolved to complete another new aquisition.....Italeri's 1:48th scale CR. 42 "Falco" Biplane.
However, as usual, something always seems to get in the way of me being able to spend a nice quiet day home building a model. These little "intrusions" into my "personal time" often cause me to become abit "testy"....irratable and sometimes even downright "unpleasant" to be around.
Now I pride myself on "being never anything less than pleasant" but I must admit that when I am interrupted while constructing a model, its almost as if I have quit smoking and taken up drinking large amounts of coffee (and not the decaffinated stuff.....I tend to get on edge).
Now whether this behavior is due to intense concentration, tunnel vision, or whatever, my question is this:

Have any of you, or you family members ever noticed you becoming abit edgy, testy or having a "short fuse" while you build your models?

Dont get me wrong, I dont "kick the dog" or even put holes in walls, I guess mine is abit more "internally directed", I would surmize it by saying that I get frustrated at interruptions.....how about ya'll?

Anyway, now that I have admitted this flaw of mine, ya'll dont leave me out here hanging all by myself, if you sometimes have the aforementioned problem, let me know so I know I am not the only person that is "wound too tightly" lol.

Have a good day,

Greg
