I came in to an email message saying that our main homepage banner isn't showing up. Strange, it worked last week. So I re-upload the page and that fixes it. Ok.
Then my boss shows up with a fistful of printouts from other peoples' computers. None of the Internet Explorer users can see it. I have no idea why; it's the same code I've used successfully for over a year on another of our sites. Oh well. So I use a different script to pull in the random images. (Why nobody told me this was a problem during testing, I'll never know.)
I stop by boss's office to see if it works on his computer. Now he tells me that the highlight box is 2 screens off to the right. Lovely. Had he told me this before, while we were testing the site? NO. Bastard. When I said it might have been good to tell me earlier, he said he had. No, you told me the footer was wacky, but not the highlight box.
And what's better? I'm spending all this time trying to fix it so it looks right on HIS computer, which is running Internet Explorer for the Mac. This browser is 5 years old! Microsoft said 2 years ago that they wouldn't update it any longer. It is obsolete. That is why it can't handle some of the newer stylesheet stuff I'm doing. But he won't use a newer browser. Why? Because he's a clueless idiot.
I hate it here I hate it here I hate it here.
