I've been working on an internal application under the impression that my deadline was this Thursday. I walked in ready to tell me boss I was going to need a bit more time, and he immediately says:
"iamnull, when do you think you'll have this application done? July or August?".
So much relief.3 -

My boss knows nothing about development. JUST buzzwords.
*in regards to a project* Boss: "just write it in PHP; it'll be easy!"
Me: "you know PHP?"
Boss (fully serious): "...enough to be dangerous."
He has never written a line of code in his life, let alone has any clue about what PHP does. Whenever I want to fuel my rage, I think about this moment.7 -

All while managing the normal day to day workflow of working for a digital marketing agency. Expected in 7 weeks.1
