I'm guessing he's kind of a jerk who doesn't know how to correct a newbie, any more than you knew how to "correct" him. But you're learning, and he's apparently "past that" -- not in a good way. I just hope that your assignor knows who's who, and who isn't.

Don't worry. You could never be as bad as I was in my first few years. If I can develop to the point of being a creditable ref, so can you. (ask rockyroad, if you don't believe me...) The key is to "keep learning" which you've already figured out, so you're in business.
