My laptop froze at 11pm on a Thursday and I sat there staring at it for 20 minutes
Last month I was wrapping up a big logo project for a bakery in Sacramento, and around 11pm my laptop just locked up. Instead of rebooting, I sat there frozen too, heart pounding, just staring at the spinning circle. That was the moment I knew the 70 hour weeks had caught up to me, so I shut the whole thing down, made a cup of tea, and went to bed without even saving. The file was fine in the morning (thank goodness for autosave), and I finished it by noon feeling way more human. Now I'm wondering, does anyone else have a hard stop time where you just walk away from the screen no matter what?
