No the sinking feeling is when you try to reconnect via ssh to the
machine after an appropriate amount of time and realise that:
a) there was a floppy/bootable cdrom in the drive and its not going to
load
b) You've forgotten to add sshd to the init calls

Then multiply this feeling when you realise that it's 23 hours flight to
the office that the machine is in.

Of course you can add further multipliers of your own :)
