No. I know I didn't. I really had one quick question to ask. HE was spoiling for a fight. I remember thinking I should leave, but I really needed to get that question answered so I could send the document back to my L today. The hearing was supposed to be tomorrow and I needed to sign the document and return asap. I was asking him for help that wasn't spelled out in the document, and to have to modify would take a lot of time we didn't have.
I do realize a lot of it was in the letter, but what came out of my mouth was vile. I'm watering it down here. I did get my question answered at the end, and amazingly, we've reached some type of "calm". He's being ever so polite and nice, as am I. I surprised the heck out of him...first with the venom, and secondly with the apology. But the good news is, we're actually friendlier now than we have been in a long time.
I want to finish this and be done. I don't want to be his buddy - but it would be nice to be able to finish this with some level of cooperation from H that doesn't involve us battling it out in court. He was under some misinformation and making assumptions about my intentions to "stick it to him".
