A New Horizon

Sometimes change is necessary and a bit painful. But you get over it sooner than you expect.

A new management company is in effect here after our gutsy Chairman of the Joint Management Body forced the old company to resign their services. Boy, she was really on their case for so many outstanding issues (defects, mismanagement, etc). I guess in the end, they just couldn't take it.

I don't want to air dirty laundry but the old management team were really bad. Incompetent is too understated to describe it. But this is where we find opportunities. We're like the Israelites being led out of Egypt by our version of Moses. Hopefully, unlike the Israelites there'll be no wandering for 40 years - just a straight road to the Promised Land of Casa Desa.

Someone uttered to me recently: "There's light at the end of the tunnel but it could be another train". I laughed. After spending one day in the management office today I think we're on the right track. Better processes and a better system. Might be time for another recycling day again to get the residents together. Hmmm...
