ME: Ugh the strata AGM was awful. The people in this building argue about and nearly don't pass the budget with necessary fee increases (which look worse because they didn't increase at all last year or I think the year before) and they refuse to drag the building into the twentieth century with things like A HOT WATER TANK so there will be actual hot SHOWERS in the winter when all the on-demand hot water is going to the radiators.
ALSO ME: Sure, I'll be on strata council for a year.
I figure it's a good way to meet some people in the building. Worst case I can't take it, bail after four months, and the guy who was on the fence about joining steps up in my place.
("Strata" is Canadian for, roughly, "condo HOA," the corporate entity responsible for running the building as a whole.)
