I just got back from a board meeting. It's our homeowner's association board of directors, we're dealing with a lot of [excrement] related to litigation and major repairs and construction defects and all the idiocy involved in dealing with architects, engineers, and contractors. And just guess how much fun it is?
Tonight's meeting was an executive session -- a meeting closed to the general population of homeowners who are generally welcome to come into our board meetings.
I'm sure there are people who would have a problem with that. But you know what? Those of us on the board have some background knowledge that helps keep these meetings halfway manageable -- we're not stopping the discussion about when to replace the balconies in order to ask what's going to happen to our tomato plants. We already know that that's been dealt with. We already know that that's three items down on the agenda. We already know that the meeting is going to go on until April if we stop to ask that sort of question. What we're certainly NOT doing is discussing other homeowners, nor having fun while excluding them.
I'm sorry Alex is so upset by this. Frankly, I don't understand why it's such a big deal, and I am rather annoyed that it's become a big deal, but I'm still sorry that it's caused pain to someone.
And I guess I'm with GG: I don't know why it takes me s olong to post something to this discussion...
