Gah! Have a jQuery function that works perfectly in Chrome, but seems to mysteriously disappear in Firefox and IE!!1

Best: being able to look back at the year, from the first site I built to the latest, and seeing major progress. Realising that I can actually make a career out of this.1

Managers that somehow leave projects until the last minute, and then get shitty when you're too busy to do them on the day they're due... Best of all, when it's 4:45pm on a Friday afternoon.
Every. Friday. Afternoon.1 -
// not strictly a devRant
Had a minor operation last week. Surgeon said I'd be fine to work immediately after.
I only managed a half-day at work (the day after the operation) before the pain became unbearable. That was 5 days ago - been off since.
Hate taking so much time off - halfway through a project, gonna go back to a mountain of work and a tighter deadline!3 -
Started new project yesterday. Really pleased with how it's progressing. Made me appreciate just how far I've come in a short space of time - I'd have not been able to do half of this 6months ago, and especially not in 2days!
-
The devs I work with. One more so than the other, but seeing as this is my first dev job, and I have no formal training, they've been my mentors. Yeah, we disagree and argue - but they're bloody good quality, and I'm very lucky to be learning from them.

Start working on something else.
When you're not focussing intently on that problem, but on something else, the answer will appear (and piss you off because now you've just gotten into a flow on the new task!!) -
Designers that continually use non-webfonts, KNOWINGLY, and then get pissy when the site doesn't look EXACTLY like the concept.11

Boss tells senior dev to show junior dev how to do something. Senior dev says okay. Get back to desks - senior dev refuses to show junior dev because 'if you fuck it up, everything'll break'... How exactly is a person supposed to learn if you won't even let them observe?!13

Finding out a colleague that you thought you got on well with thinks you're too big for your boots, the day you've been offered a full-time contract.
Fuck them. I'm gonna work my arse off and show them that my boots fit just fine, thank you very much!5 -
Designer, showing example: I want this item with this effect, except with this colour and not that shape but this instead, and that bit over there, oh and not that arrow, another one. The site has the code you can download then copy in, easy!
Oh, really?! -
That thing where it's the week of your performance review and you're freaking out and can't sleep so you end up watching weird YouTube videos until the wee hours....1

Find out this week if the internship I've been doing will be turned in to a permanent position... Tanking myself! Doing some work this weekend to make sure I've done the best I can do prove myself.2

When you spend all week building a site and getting it just right, only to find out at 4:55pm on Friday that the designer didn't actually follow the sitemap and half of your build will need to be re-done.1
