What a witch. I would guess what is making her so mad is that you know the code better than her and Ms. Goddess is angry about it.
It comes down to "power".... almost always... They want it, believe they have it, and want to exercise it, and HATE to be questioned.

I worked in the technology industry for 14 years and one thing I learned during that time is to keep my mouth shut if I don't know 200% that I am right. I have met a lot of women who work in a male dominated industry and feel that they have to impress everyone with their prowess that they often don't have. Have met some really knowledgeable women too so nothing against us women, it is only some of them. Well she fits this description perfectly. I have asked some really basic questions, like how often do I have to have my herd tested for TB and she doesn't know the answer but she can spout off incorrect code interpretation with no problem.

Rant over.
On a happier note, I almost have my milking barn trailer water tight and it should be leaving my goat housing barn next week. That fall I took at TSC a few weeks ago has really messed with my schedule for this and it is making it hard to work. I can't climb a ladder, hold a drill, pick up anything heavy or very small (like a screw) without an incredible amount of pain, and I am no wimp; this HURTS. But I almost have the project done. One window to install, one more full sheet of siding and two sheets of metal roofing. Would have done it today but the aspirin wore off and I was cold.
A friend that I will forever be indebted to is coming out tomorrow to see what we have to do to pull that trailer out of the barn. It has to come up a muddy slippery little slope and I know our truck can't do it. Hoping that his Bobcat can. I have kids hitting the ground in a little over two weeks and I need that barn empty and some gravel and sand brought in for the floor, a front gate, and some fencing moved. I will so excited to be in that barn.
It is RAINING in CA. My guess would be 2" today, 3" the last storm a few days ago and 7"+ (rain gauge overflowed) the storm before that. Rain is a necessary evil but I sure do miss my drought.

@babsbag I have a story that you would appreciate about women that have something to prove. I worked at a garbage company and that is an extremely regulated industry. There was a female EPA inspector who terrorized the manager on a regular basis. She treated him like he was a criminal. We had made a road with concrete chunks that was in the construction boxes. There was bits of rebar in it and she claimed that the rusting iron would pollute the environment. So, he had the yard hand drag a cutting torch out there and melt as much of those rebar nubs that he could, just to satisfy this witch on a power trip. Excuse me, but isn't iron a natural element?
On one visit, they walked around behind the mechanic shop building. She was looking for chemical and oil spills-a BIG no-no. She found a wet spot in the dirt and snarled, "What is THAT?" Boss said "I don't know." She pinched some soil between her fingers and brought it to her nose to smell it. There was no oil smell, but she glowered at the manager anyway. She cross examined him, trying to get him to say it was a chemical spill. She finished her inspection and left. Later that afternoon, the boss came to the mechanic shop and told us about her trying to nail him on a wet spot in the dirt. He truly didn't know why it was wet. The mechanics burst out laughing and said that they went behind the building and peed there. We could see the light dawning on the managers face as he realized the witch inspector had rubbed her fingers in pissy dirt and got a good snort of it up her nose. We all had a good laugh on that one! From then on, every time she showed up to terrorize him, he smiled all the way through her inspection!
