4. I Survived (the first half of) the Board Meeting
Tue Apr 17, 2012, 09:30 PM
Apr 2012

Which means that next Thursday we reconvene and try to get the other half done.

All this Sturm und Drang because the house rules and bylaws, which I have tried THREE TIMES (3, count them, 3) in the past 5 years to get straightened out...are biting us every time we turn around.

I had no support. The FIRST time, the self-dealing bitches went and undid all the work in the dead of night, and we found out 5 minutes before the conversion vote, and since everybody wanted to convert, they were accepted in spite of their unlegal and awfulness.

The SECOND time, they took it away from me...that was a vendetta. I'm going to fix that little red wagon next time we elect board members....and it will be my pleasure.

the THIRD time, the present, we have had exactly ONE meeting, 3 weeks ago. A major rewrite is going to take two years, I figure, since we are volunteers and all. I've learned so much since the first attempt, but the problem is so much bigger than it was because so much more has happened since then, and I'm a lot more knowledgeable about the enormity of the problem. Still, winners never quit...and whining is par for the course. (I will try to keep it out of the thread).

But I could really use a drink, now.

And that doesn't even count the whole buy-the-mortgage from the bank and save a lot of money issue....which may finally...FINALLY...be getting off the ground.

I have a corkscrew around here somewhere....

Well, what the hell. We got until April 30th.....
