If I am fussy with anyone over the next week...

I'm sorry in advance. I'm doing a website for someone, first time in a while that I've done one, so I might be heavily involved in that project.

On top of that, there's also a ton of personal matters that I'm dealing with, so all of these things may make me fussy at times.

I'm not going to intentionally go out of my way to be a jerk to anybody, just to blanket it under this statement, but I just might have a moment where:

-I'm just in a bad mood all day. Probably means one of said personal matters blew up in my face or escalated even further, and I'm having problems coping.
-I'm perfectly fine, and suddenly snap off. Probably means I'm working on the site, and keep getting errors/the visuals are not looking the way they should if I coded it right, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
-I just don't talk. I could just be not wanting to say anything because I'm feeling low over personal matters, am really heavily into getting X part of the site done ASAP, or have went to sleep and forgot to set my away message like I have multiple times this past week.

Rest assured, that I'm not usually mad at my friends, and that I usually get mad at myself before I get mad at anyone.

Also, if I start griping to my friends who know what I'm talking about over design problems, don't ask me to start using Dreamweaver or various other web design programs, because that actually slows me down more than debugging does. I use plain text editors, plan and simple. For me, it was how I taught myself to design websites, how I was taught to design websites in school (thus re-enforcing my self-education on web design), and how I'm most comfortable. Looking at WYSIWYG editors seems off to me, whereas looking straight at HTML/CSS/javascript/PHP code feels natural to me.
