As President of my condo association, when something goes wrong, my phone starts ringing and the complaints begin. So yesterday, when we received the first snowfall of the season, a full half-inch, I knew I had to cut off the grievances “at the pass”.
Every year the company that plows our private drive, places both sand barrels on our property and stakes around the road to guide the plows. A few days before the snowfall, the company had set up the stakes but not the sand barrels. Luckily, the day before the snowfall, by sheer coincidence, I happened to call the company to remind them of the exact locations of where to place the barrels.
And so the morning that I woke up and saw the snow, I knew some owners would call me unless I took some action. Thus, I immediately sent an email to all the owners stating, “Just wanted to let you know, that I called Bruces yesterday (what a coincidence ;-) to remind them where to place our sand barrels. Unfortunately, they placed the stakes around our roadway the other day, but didn’t get to the sand barrels in time. Who would have guessed we would have snow today when the temperature was almost 60 on Sunday? On the other hand, what else could we expect … this is Wisconsin. But they’ll be bringing the sand soon. Sorry for any inconvenience.”
I guess my email did the trick. Not one owner called me. Whewwwww !!
