That one week where my editing software crashed 12 times and I still hit upload
Last Tuesday I was putting the finishing touches on a 15 minute video review, and Adobe Premiere just froze on me. I lost about 3 hours of work because my auto-save was set to 30 minutes instead of 5. Then on Thursday, the same thing happened again during a color correction pass on a different video. I ended up redoing the whole thing from scratch with a timer on my phone reminding me to save every 2 minutes. Somehow I still managed to get both videos out by Friday evening, but I had to skip dinner and my cat knocked over a cup of coffee right after I hit publish. Has anyone else had a week where tech just fought you every step of the way?

Oh man, that's brutal! My computer crashed mid-render on a 3 minute video once and I just sat there staring at the screen like it personally offended me lol.

Sat there staring at the screen" is exactly what I did. Three lost hours on a Thursday night because Premiere decided to take a nap. I started doing manual saves every time I finished a single paragraph of voiceover script. Cat knocked over my water bottle right after I finally exported.
