Meeting Minutes April 12, 2010

Technicalities? What the hell is this?

April 12th , 2010

The meeting has begun at 5:32pm

Problem Solving

Meeting: Lil’ Joshu is Tech. Noah is Renter. Warren has been food reimbursed. Revised cleaning sheets will be voted upon.

Cleaning: Points for cleaning weekend have been to Credit Recorder. The empty dumpster is here again. Make it your bitch.

Bureaucracy: AWOL

Community: Nothing.

Credit: Credit totals are up. Oil prices are down. Only one person got a point-based fine. Huzzah!

Education: Ain’t got no new people.

Environmental: AWOL. We are voting on a new one soon.

Food: Still getting done.

Mail: Don’t fuck with the mail unless you are the Mail coordinator.

Occupancy: Hasn’t been signing up for points since there are no new members.

Purchaser: AWOL.

Recycling: Still getting done.

Renter: Eight days to pay back rent. If you owe money, you have been contacted.

Repair: Some lights have been installed in the office. Awesome.

Safety: House is safe.

Shop: Gonna start cleaning up a room in the shop for a screen-printing studio. Also, old paint needs to go to hazardous waste disposal. If you can take care of it, you will get points!

Tech: No complaints recently.

Treasurer: Nothing

Agenda:

Excess points: It is awesome to do jobs because the House needs it. Not just for the purpose of points. For the good of all!

Point technicality: Apparently there’s something in the House manual about cutting down personal point reserves to 150. Should we do this? Perhaps 400.

Notes for the purpose of future point system alterations:

–Putting a 400 point/month cap to prevent freeloading

–Merging coordinator positions to resolve laziness.

–Changing cleaning sheets

Also, instead of a lot of small changes to the point system, a massive overhaul may be looming in the future.

Winnebago housewarming party this Thursday.

Proposals:

Maybe?…NO!!!!!!!!!

Ivey: You will be evicted in eight days as of this meeting if you don’t pay your back rent.

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, 1936.

///Possibly one of the most brilliant books ever written. I recommend it highly.

Control your temper. Remember, you can measure the size of a person by what makes him or her angry.
Three-fourths of the people you will ever meet are hungering and thirsting for sympathy. Give it to them, and they will love you.

Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
The unvarnished truth is that almost all the people you meet feel themselves superior to you in some way, and a sure way to their hearts is to let them realize in some subtle way that you recognize their importance, and recognize it sincerely.

Everybody in the world is seeking happiness – and there is one sure way to find it. That is by controlling your thoughts. Happiness doesn’t depend on outward conditions. It depends on inner conditions.

Whenever you go out-of-doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of the head high, and fill the lungs to the utmost; drink in the sunshine; greet your friends with a smile, and put soul into every handclasp. Do not fear being misunderstood and do not waste a minute thinking about your enemies. Try to fix firmly in your mind what you would like to do; and then, without veering off direction, you will move straight to the goal. Keep your mind on the great and splendid things you would like to do, and then, as the days go gliding away, you will find yourself unconsciously seizing upon the opportunities that are required for the fulfillment of your desire.

If you disagree with them you may be tempted to interrupt. But don’t. It is dangerous. They won’t pay attention to you while they still have a lot of ideas of their own crying for expression. So listen
patiently and with an open mind.
