Did you know I don’t actually live in a condo?[1]
Condo meeting next week! This should be exciting. We’re finishing the nasty argument discussion about last year’s work, and discussing sealing the balconies. I’d like to add “meeting scheduling” to the meeting. And I am sure there are a huge list of other things on the agenda. And I will get a sneak peak this weekend, when I and some of the other co-owners (the sane ones, plus me) who conveniently have a majority in the building (50.8, or something, I can’t find my agreement to check) will discuss our game plan for this meeting. Part of which better involve trying not to be too obvious that we pre-agreed about things, especially by doing something silly like publishing that fact on the internet.
Meeting scheduling needs adding because: we had a meeting set for some time late April or early May. I kept the day free. Heard nothing, neither ‘yes it is on’ or ‘no it is cancelled’. It was cancelled. Another one was planned for shortly after. Kept the date free, same thing happened. Kept another day open (Monday next), heard nothing. This time I left a note saying that without one week’s notice, I might not be able to show up. Another person then said the same thing, and hey wouldn’t it suck to organise ANOTHER day? Suddenly, meeting confirmed. This is a fairly typical story. (One of the problems is that one person in the building seems to have moved out. No one is entirely sure. But it’s hard to organise with a missing person. Especially a missing person who has the minutes from the last meeting and never gave them out.)
This time it will be my turn to take minutes, which will at least be something to do during the fights. Especially if I take minutes on my computer. (A minute playing freecell, a minute playing spider . . . )
