Me at my worst

[susandennis]

Home owner associations meetings just bring out the worst me that there is. I don't know why and I try to fight it but it happens every time. The meetings are really the only way to find out what's happening in the building short of actually being on the board (which would be rancid for everyone involved). I go. 1 hour a month. And then hate myself for 4 hours after. Makes no sense.

In my cult co-op we have a little-old-lady who attends the board meetings and writes up her own version of minutes afterward (which is much quicker than the official minutes). I use those as my way to keep informed, otherwise I'd have to drink a lot more after I got home from the board meetings to get rid of the desire to strangle certain audience members. :)

I want her at our meetings! We have one woman who goes to them all and would be happy to fill me in but 1. I cannot stand her and 2. She gets nothing, and I mean nothing, correct.

And, yeah, our minutes come out with the speed (and detail) the the freakin' stone tablets.

I had one of the board members ask me, not long ago, if I had ever thought of running for the board and I assured him that the association could not afford the medical and legal fees that my board service would cause.

Board meetings were one of the reasons I took up knitting, so I'd have something to do with my hands while sitting through them. Then I started fantasizing about stabbing/garroting people and knew it was time to save my poor addi turbos for something more useful and stop going to the meetings.

I should probably go to our meetings, but I never have...

Any surprises? New news? :)
