The phone keeps ringing.

Eleven calls in, and the office’s week has barely started.

The front office

11calls since 8:30

The elevator is out until Thursday. Three people want to know when it’s back. Then a daughter calls from three states away: can anyone bring groceries up to her mom in 4C? The office can’t, and the neighbors who’d gladly help are one floor down.

The office can’t carry the groceries, and the neighbors who’d gladly help don’t know she needs it.

The annual meeting needs 53 homes for a quorum. A week out, 22 have said they’re coming. Last year it fell short, so the board knocked on doors and everyone came back a month later.

The group chat

3times this year, the same question

Someone needs a plumber they can trust. The office can’t recommend one, and the neighbor who knows a good one answered in a group chat in March, where nobody will ever find it. So it gets asked again.

The office can’t recommend anyone, and last time’s answers are long gone.

Marcus, 5B Reyes Plumbing fixed our water heater in a day. Fair price, and he cleaned up.
