When to ignore the controller

Today was one of the craziest flying days ever for me. There was an awful lot of traffic both in pattern and passing through, as well as landing at SQL from PAO. Controller was actually frazzled enough to say I was #3 when I was actually #2. And on my final, I simply had to ignore everything he said and just aim for the runway. Of course, Patti took care of the communication at that point, but today prioritization finally sunk in: aviate, navigate, communicate. Specially when you're on final.
