House meetings have been so stressful lately. Board meetings have been very stressful. These are the times I do not enjoy living in this co-op. I posted a while back about how I had a very uncomfortable encounter with a house mate regaurding very inapropriate expressions of sexual interest. This matter was not fully resolved. I do not feel he took no responsibility for his actions. He apologized in the manner of a 5 yr old being made to say he's sorry. Because of this highly unpleasant encounter I began locking my door when i slept, locking the bathroom everytime i used it, and being afraid to enter less visable spaces in the house alone. Perhaps I should always be so cautious, but i do not want to live in fear. I do not want to have to call a friend with and estimated arival time before walking 4 blocks to their apartment at night. I dont want to feel nervous about listening to my ipod during this walk for fear that i will not hear a stranger's foot steps behind me. I do not feel comfortable living with this person. The reason for the stressful meetings should perhaps be a separate matter but I am having a difficult time detaching myself from the future of this member at our co-op. Not a single bill has been paid on time. Not a single instance of the 16 hours of required house work has been recorded. The board has to discuss these issues and we have to try and resolve these problems in house meetings. I have had enough of people that are not ready to take responsibility for their actions. Everybody fucks up sometimes and it does not make anyone a bad person, but there is only so many times one can fuck up before the people around them have everyright to say they've had enough of being patient. I've had enough of being patient. I am tired of being patient.
