[QUOTE="WearyWoman, post: 383728"] Jules - I feel it's inappropriate too that she had me call to verify what my husband said. And, a resounding yes that I wish I could have said something to her right there on the spot. The fact is, I was too upset and nervous feeling. I wish that wouldn't happen to me in times of stress, but I am a sensitive person to stressors. I have been considering sending an e-mail about this. I don't know if I'm making a big deal about it, but I do feel hurt and offended, even. I definitely communicate better in writing, because I can take the time to consider my words. I'm seriously stressing about this exam coming up, and that's probably contributing to my overall anxiety level.
