The description of the phone call made me giggle.
I like to pretend that the phone call got glossed over at the end because the guy realised he was being a numpty and was hoping that it would be forgotten about XD
but equally likely they don't realise they're being a numpty and would be grossly offended if that was pointed out
If you have alternatives that would make you happier, maybe consider how much you value your time?
The rational choice would be dragging my feet to work and finishing the program then do what I want. The pay is good and the people are ok. I'm just not satisfied because I know I got something else to look forward to that I know I can have but decide to hold off.
Ahh if you haven't got long more on the program and you're getting paid for it or some other qualification or something that makes it worth finishing may as well.
I want to be a crusader on the 5th dimension but we can't have all our dreams fulfilled and get paid for dreaming. I'm leaning on to Art, Accounting and Programming related skills as a fall back after this training is done.
