Someone's spilled coffee
On your white shirt.

The report you spent
Four hours on,
Ruined in the rain.

And someone's decided
That it'd be funny if you found,
Dragon dung in your in-tray.

Just refactor,
A part of your life.

And answer me this:

How do you feel right now? (Note: This is essentially a who-am-I riddle, only you get an extra hint: you're looking for a feeling...)

Hint 1 -- Helpfulness Level: $\frac{64}{100}$

Consider just the penultimate stanza ("just refactor...").

Could it be

ireful

Explanation:

Ireful means angry, so when the events happen, I would be angry of frustrated at something or someone. Rearranging or refactoring the phrase "your life"

I feel

foul

Explanation:

If I take the "o" and "u" from "your" and the "l" and "f" from "life" I can rearrange (or refactor) them to get foul, which matches about how I'd feel after each of the aforementioned scenarios.

I'm not sure but is it

pity

or

failure

because both are kind of feelings that one feels when those things happen and can be formed by refactoring A part of your life.
