"Dear Jeff (BOSS)

This is in reference to moving/migrating from downstairs setup to upstairs. At the moment there are currently 2 computers setup in my cube, one on the left and one on the right. When I realized that James moved over to my spot during shift changes I mentioned & communicated with him verbally that he is more than welcome to setup his pc along the left hand side with mine, as I knew he had a KVM switch that he used downstairs so that we can both use them interchangeably here and was open for solution to get a working setup for both of us. There are applications from the PC on the left side me & Fakhrul use to function on duties throughout the day.

When I came in to work one weekend I was surprised to see he setup his pc and had no idea that he was going to totally disconnect mine. At this point I was going to setup a basic profile on his pc for use but it came to be that he had some administrator lock on it and there was an error message that his computer is “ not available on turner domain” so it wasn’t even accessible. So at this point there was a KVM switch that was already in my bottom right hand drawer and not in his box. ***I willing fully went to attempt to set it up to make a better situation for both of us so that we could both have our pc’s to access. However when I tried to set it up there was no power adapter available for use and his box was underneath my desk so I went in to look for it but couldn’t find it and that I did not go into it randomly. *** (this is a little muddled to me - clarity clarity clarity will rule the day)*** I did mention this to him as well that I did attempt to look for it & apologized for any confusion, but I feel he has taken this way out of proportion, become irrational and has over blown this ***(this next may not be necessary in the email - perhaps part of the round table but better as a verbal followup w Boss but only if asked - someone else mentioned in this thread that as a Boss they are aware of such tendencies towards shitty behaviour and you ought to leave the Boss something to add or think about on (his or her) own just to help them keep control/be the "Boss")*** as this something he has done in the past with other situations.

I feel this was just a big misunderstanding and miscommunication on mine and his part. I have a email below also as proof that I did try & communicate/rectify with him to (lets **remove??**) formulate a setup on (** "our" instead of "a" ??**) setting up the switch so that we can both have working pcs and have a comfortable working environment.
