I did get some smug satisfaction. H started yelling at me about misplacing a chord, and I said what the MC said to say - "YOu're getting angry in the way you agreed to work on in MC">
At first, H denied it. So I calmly said, ok what did we agree on then?" and H had to admit I was right. So he calmed down and asked that I don't lose things we share, I said fair enough.
After he left I found the chord - IN HIS OFFICE ON HIS DESK. I believe HE left it there last time HE used it.
