Long days
Today felt like a long day. Not because we did too much, but mostly because we did too little. We had until 4:30 to get work done today, and yet it felt like frustratingly little actually got finalized.
I did set up our email through the new domain service. Andy and Melissa "at" changinggearsmovie.com. Seemed sensible, but it was an important step for contacting people and looking professional.
At 4:30, we had a City Planning Commission meeting. It went something like 4 and a half hours. That's a long time to talk about a few developers who don't want to follow the rules set out by the local zoning laws. I feel like screaming sometimes when the commission belabors the finer points of a proposal to break the laws. I don't think I'd be that flexible, were I a commissioner. It's not like pickpockets get the chance to apply for a variance for the laws on theft because they have a perfectly good reason to pick pockets in their specific circumstances.
Make the laws and stick to them. If they don't work, modify the laws. Seems simple to me. But what do I know? I just watch lots of meetings.
