Narrative:

Called for push at X1; got the cleared to push and thought ramp said go to metering. Contacted metering and received taxi instructions. Received a call from the chief pilot making me aware that ramp wanted us to call them for taxi before contacting metering.long day after a 3 hour sit and I believe that I just miss heard what was said on the push back. I have had only a handful of flights since being off and I should have questioned the ramp controller.I should have questioned the contact metering part that I thought that I heard and called ramp again for taxi regardless.
