My husband had the BRILLIANT idea of running for the HOA Board right before he left for Basic Training. I guess he thought he didn’t have a chance of getting elected since we’re still pretty new to the building, not to mention the sad fact that because of my recent job loss we’ve gotten behind in our dues. Well he was wrong, he got elected. And who do you think is filing in for him while he’s away? Ahem, yeah, that’s right, ME. Can you tell just how THRILLED I am by this new responsibility? Greeeaaat…
The worst part is that the Board keeps tiptoeing around our situation instead of just outright asking me what’s going on. I mean, it wasn’t like our delinquency wasn’t public knowledge. They had every chance to tell Taylor that he didn’t qualify to run for the Board if that’s what they wanted to do. But they didn’t! And yet now they’re giving me grief via passive-aggressive PUBLIC group emails to the Board. How humiliating! Times are tough right now for EVERYONE, and I just don’t understand why being HELPFUL isn’t part of the Board’s tactic for dealing with delinquencies.
I’m not the only delinquent homeowner in our building. It’s the reality of the times, and trying to kick people into the ground when they’re already down and out ISN’T the solution. I don’t do passive. I don’t do passive-aggressive. I do direct and KIND. Nothing pisses me off more than inconsiderate people.
