Investigating your HOA is so BORING

So boring, I haven't posted here in a while.

Quick recap: I did get a pile of papers that appears to resemble a General Ledger. As far as I can tell, my HOA is spending about 40% of its money on just general & accounting (G&A) expenses.

In the meantime, two of the four board members resigned, presumably because I kept sniping at them on the mailing list. And now I've been appointed Vice-President of the Board. Thus ends the first chapter of my quest to consume my HOA.

Now I get to deal with all the weird HOA business that the board gets to deal with. For example, yesterday, I was asked to vote for one of two or three courses of action on how to deal with some woman who refused to take down her Christmas lights. I say it was two or three because the options were kind of scattered and rambling and I didn't really understand them, aside from that they all seemed to involve suits and attorneys and associated BS.

So, I took my newfound powers as Board Vice President, and went to the woman's house to check out this eyesore. She happened to come out of the house, so I talked to her a bit, and she said she didn't have a ladder. I told her she could borrow mine. I dropped it off today, reported this back to the board, and they agreed to drop whatever pending action there was going on, much to the disappointment of the attorneys, I'm sure.

Seemed a lot cheaper than lawsuits.

I can't wait to get the docket of all the pending actions to see if they're all as easily solved.

Next up: Someone has 3/4s of a car parked on the sidewalk in front of their house, for some reason.
