Sorry, this is for me and  me alone.

We had an issue with a drupal install that only impacted IE8 on XP. After checking hotfixes, antivirus and duplicating the issue,

Sometimes people ask you when you work for your self what its like to be your own boss. I always respond jokingly, something to the effect of 'its horrible--my boss is a jerk'. Really, I'm not sure, because when you 'work for yourself' you always have
a boss-if not many.

Your boss is(are) your customers. They do not necessary dictate when you will come into the office, or what you will do day to day, what you wear, but nonetheless you work for them. I have learned that the trick to satisfy so many bosses it to focus on being proactive instead of being responsive. Of course, you have to respond to needs, or priorities of your customers, but if you lack vision or planning, you will never truly be successful. It helps to learn to anticipate feedback, or project needs, or urgency before it becomes urgent. If you can do this, you are rewarded with more bosses, with more conflicting needs or priorities.And in the end, that's what we all want. Right?

Having may bosses is not meant to be a bad thing. The alternative is worse. But having so many conflicting requests will create challenges .So, in the end, focus on the right things, be proactive and refine your process. Improve and plan to avoid getting fired when you 'work for yourself'.
