Sources: the dishwasher loading dispute inside my home has reached the point of formal positions. One party maintains the bowls face the center. Another maintains the bowls face the spray arm, which is where the water is. Per league sources, both have been told this. Neither has moved. The silverware basket has been described to me as 'a matter of principle,' handles up versus handles down, and a pre-rinse was called 'an insult to the machine' by someone who has not run the machine since March. Plates have been re-stacked overnight without notice. Attendance at dinner was noted. A mediator has been requested and declined. Timeline fluid. Story developing.
