Apartment Life, co-op edition

[lagilman]

The annual co-op board meeting has been survived, despite impossible temperatures and only one working fan.  Our management company rep was probably wondering why he got the short straw tonight, since nobody except him seemed interested in cutting the meeting short.  However, our CPA is a man of patience and humor, and does not talk down to women any more than he talks down to men. *g*  And after increasing acrimony in the building toward the existing board (for many valid reasons), there was much rowdiness and discussion resulting in a new board being elected.

(No, not me - as with SFWA, I serve, but I will not serve.)


Thank dog we only have to do this once a year.  I'm TIRED.


These are the entertainments of the sophisticated NYC lifestyle.... (hah)

Good lord, why? Is there that much happening in your co-op that needs that much discussion?

(or wait, you're ON the board, aren't you? This wasn't the business-as-usual board meeting but the "all hands on deck things are being discussed for vote and the yearly financials discussed" meeting.)

I'm the President! (By accident--was Vice President for a month, and then...) We're still a new enough building that meeting more regularly was necessary, but I think after my term ends in September the next administration will consider meeting less often. Fewer people are coming, there's less to talk about, etc. Our bylaws only require one meeting per year.
