When you've already spent three days trying to debug a problem with a Magento site and start questioning your credentials as a developer.

But then the other senior says they get stressed just popping in and out to help so they can't imagine what it's like for you and your boss says 'look at it this way. You're one step closer to solving it than you were yesterday'.
