I think my dean is just being a jerk and giving me a hard time.

After I told him that he could talk to my doctor, he emailed back on a completely different vein, accusing me of not following protocol for postponed exams. Apparently I had to contact him and my registrar while I was in the hospital. WTF?! I was sedated the entire period that I was in the hospital, and contacted him as soon as I had access to a computer. I didn't write to my registrar, but my dean forwarded my email to her.

Why the sudden change of tone now? I wasn't even aware that I'd broken protocol. In the past, when I missed exams, I always just wrote to my dean and he contacted the registrar and professor. So I wrote him an email saying that I did as I did in the past, and that I was not told of any violations back then. I apologized about any unintentional misunderstandings on my part.

Honestly, I think he's just being an insensitive jerk for no reason. I don't understand why he's giving me a hard time. He's so kind to all of my friends, and goes out on a limb to help them. Maybe he just has a prejudice against those of us with MI. I mean seriously, now that he has permission to speak to my doctor, he's suddenly grilling me about meaningless "protocol"? Obviously because he has nothing else to go off on. Honestly, the protocol violation has no bearing on anything!! It's just paper-pushing!!

ARGH
