Rule one: Never work in an agency where the 2 owners are married.

add an empty <script></script> before the <style> element and your css should load in fine.

You should just fuck her in mouth, and shit on the desk as for a raise.
Like a FUCKING boss

I've seen guys like you come and go. The ones that stay are the ones that would, say, make a fucking timeline and get shit done. Feel free to stay but be prepared to be bitched at until you decide to stick around past 5pm. Or leave. Do not wait to be fired.

- I get my shit done. That's why it's frustrating to hear that I'm the person keeping us back. Anytime there's a problem I get an overreaction on one side and a normal response on the other.

Just remember Conway's Law....
Anything that can be explained by ignorance, stupidity or arrogance should not be attributed to evil intent.
It's not a conspiracy against you, they just don't get it...
The print/old-school agency mindset does this to web developers all the time, tends to happen less after 2005 or so, but still happens...

i worked for someone like that. once went as far as to really badmouth me infront of a client concerning a project i had messed up. it was a project that i had never even touched - one that the boss had tried to do alone. he didnt know i was around the corner and en earshot (not deaf then). wasnt long after that that i resigned. now, he's doing the same stuff to a friend of mine who's taken over that same position. when i started there, he had about 20 employees. now, he's down to about 6 and struggling to keep afloat (according to a former coworker). been in business for 25 years. sad.

I've made a point not to work at mom and pop shops. No matter if you're fucking up or not, if one of them decides they have a problem with you, they'll both go to bed talking about it at night. The chips are stacked against you. Small shops are hard enough to deal with. It sucks when the partners and only employees are married.

i didnt read any of it, but the fact that it was that long, is a pretty good indication to me that you are as good as toast..
start looking for a new job.. quit before they can fire you..
or get a lawyer..
better yet, get a lawyer, then claim discrimination based on sexual harassment...

I read.
Am I going to be the first to say "building websites in wordpress" is your problem?
Every time there is a bug / new security issue found, you create yourself more work and look like a cock in front of your boss who doesn't understand what she's selling.

Oh. And I just read the timestamp.

You gotta start asking questions. You were give a project today, ask what's the deadline? ASAP? ASAP as in a week or ASAP as in a day? In a day? that means all i can do is some minor design changes of a template, are you ok with that? Yes. Bam! You spend the rest of the day doing shit changes and noone can complain because that's what they signed off on.
The bitch is bitching - either play the game and bitch back in a friendly manner or stand up for yourself.

landock, you may be getting fired, or not fired.
But what you are experiencing is absolutely par for the course for web work.
Nothing you mentioned is uncommon or atypical. All part of the (often gruelling) reality of web work these days.
Waiting on content, working out tech problems, testing, iterations. It sounds like this lady isn't comfortable with this process.
If they don't realize that, and aren't on your side to help that process along, definitely look for a new job.

meffid said "Am I going to be the first to say "building websites in wordpress" is your problem?"
Yeah, you're going to be the first to say that.
Because 99% of web developers out there will disagree with you.
Using Joomla or WordPress for a CMS platform is pretty fucking standard. I wouldn't trust a web developer who didn't recommend that as the first consideration for a par-for-the-course website.

mikotondria3 and WikingKingEleven really nailed it earlier.
Anyone who is saying different ("It's your fault!" "You just need to manage better!") is full of shit. You sound like a hard/smart worker.

pr2, while you're giving good advice, it shouldn't come down to that.
Every task shouldn't be like negotiating a fucking contract.
A healthy work environment involves respect & trust.
