almost a year?? goodness. why are you 'guessing' about why he 'might not agree?' Did you kick the call? Sounds like you did not make a gross miss...so why all the angst?
I would say you cant let him in your head like that. Youll kick one for sure, being all nervous and such, wondering what he'll say this time....
honestly, his comments seem mild compared to what I hear....perhaps you need to eject him after his next commentary (which it sounds like he's sure to make). That might clear the air
dont you DARE 'apologize' for what HE said last time! He will have you by the short hairs from that moment on. Dont take it so personally...he's 'working' you....dont let him!
