Should this sentence be rewritten?
"The dispute between Jose and I began once a dirty rack of glasses had finished its cycle through the dishwashing machine and at the time when I attempted bringing the rack of glasses to the bar."
The problem we are having with this sentence is that the dispute did not happen when the rack of glasses had finished its cycle through the dishwashing machine; the dispute happened when I attempted to bring the rack of glasses to the bar. Should the sentence be rewritten? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

The dispute between Jose and me began while I was attempting to take a rack of glasses that had just come out of the dishwasher to the bar."

That sounds great! Thanks! And just quickly, did you change "I" to "me" because the subject of the sentence is "the dispute" ? Thanks again!

You have the word "between" - that takes the object form, "me" not "I."
