Comedy of Errors

It used to be that Whitecastle would mock or yell at me for everything except when I actually messed up. Then, like Ranma 1/2 with water (or for the non-Taiwanese/Japanese but agriculturally savvy readers, Mimosa pudica with touch), he would suddenly transform into a patient teacher, withholding blame and telling me not to apologize.

Not sure whether I should take this as a compliment (I take many unjustified compliments), but after 2.5 years and 1 transformation too many, Whitecastle has stopped holding back judgment and now makes fun of me regardless of circumstance.

Whitecastle: You inverted the assignments for these two groups. What were you thinking?

Moi: Well, I didn't think the differences were that-

(Whitecastle tells me he's kidding, starts laughing, then goes back to belittling my decisions for 4 more minutes)

Whitecastle: It just doesn't make any sense. Are you trying to mess this up?

Moi: I'm going to go cry now.
