System shutdown

I think most of us have faced this at some point in our lives

When you've been working on your PCs, laptops...it's been a long day of staring into the screen
Much effort has gone into your excel sheets, word pages, programming stuff etc etc
You then come to the end of the day, thinking, 'ah, i can finally close this'
Then you click on the explorer button to 'shut down/turn off' the system

It then says, 'saving data', and then quickly progresses to 'shutting down' and then you're just about to take a deep breath, or the deep breath is half held when...

The shutting down process has taken more than a minute...you wait cursing the damn microsoft updates, thinking these things could not have better timing! And yet your damn computer has you waiting and waiting and waiting 

You finally think to yourself, 'enough is enough...f#&$ this', pull the plug and be done with it

Why am I talking about this at length? Well it's happening to me as well...only difference is that it's my brain system that refuses to shutdown and sleep! and no plug to pull and be done with it!

Morbid?
