For those of you who have ever wanted to know how not to brush off an entirely too-harsh thing with "humor," here's how not to do it:

Do not say, after saying this and getting back a panicked and penitent response, "Couldn't let you off the hook without even a little preaching, could I?

That date will not cause me any serious extra work.  Better

I wish I could. I'm far too polite. Gah. This is almost over, that's what I keep telling myself.

WTF is this guy's problem?!

I mean, you asked him if it was OK. If he had an issue, he should've said something then and given you the chance to work things out in some other way. Also, it's the FRIDAY before the midterm. Midterms START THAT FRIDAY, no? So it's not even EARLY. I had to move around plenty of midterms during midterms week because of the way they always overlapped, it's not a big deal!

Sigh. Talking to him tonight, it was all friendliness and joking--like, could we actually have it the Thursday instead? That way we don't both have to come in on Friday and miss out on the nice weather? Or something. WTF all the way.

I guess it might be what he said - he thought it was his duty as a teacher to give you a hard time over it and he has no concept of what appropriate 'preaching' is?

I have no idea at this point. I am well and truly confused.
