People. Geez.

I've been listening to the recording of the city council meeting I went to last Tuesday and I just realized what the one vocal community member there reminds me of: those people in class that have to reply to everything the professor says just to hear themselves speak. You know, the annoying ones that sit there with their arms crossed and start most of their questions with, "So what you're saying is" and end them with "am I correct in saying that?" while maintaining a go-ahead-and-argue-with-me tone. Followed by periods of, "I disagree with that. That's just my opinion. I'm allowed to have my own opinion."

Basically, the kind of person I wanted to kick in the head.

It's one thing to discuss and ask questions. But this behavior always comes off as vaguely hostile and an attempt to get attention.

I have basically finished with my first draft of the meeting report. It is b-o-r-i-n-g boring. I mean, it's interesting, too, since I'm learning all sorts of things I didn't know previously. But at the same time, I'm learning more about watermains and sewerlines and the placements of both in the town than I ever really wanted to know.
