He took it too personally. You should not :-). Have a great day.

Maybe they didn’t want to let you down. Don’t be upset. Some people have a hard time disappointing others.

I do think I’m entitled to a personal note (call/email/text) given she said “thank you for your time prepping me for the interview. I will let you know how it turns out"
