So I think I have mentioned that I am frustrated with my HOA. I am on the Board of Trustees. I got on because the person in charge was completely horrible.

Here are the members

"The idiot": Not only does this guy not have any respect for the Unit Owners, he has no respect for women, and is so... Trumpesqe.. people are ready to kill him. He is the reason I got on the Board. He refuses to allow maintenance requests and likes to go talk to the residents and infuriate them. He is also a horrible liar but the rest of the Board seems unable to see this.

"Mr. Prissy Pants": Again, zero respect for the Unit Owners. He actually believes that people elected him to use his judgment. He is the newest resident and so he is also the most ignorant. But the biggest frustration I have with him is that he can't remember anything and he refuses to answer his e-mails in a timely manner.... I feel that *he* feels he shouldn't have to do any work between meetings.

"Christine": I thought we would form a block against the idiot. But she has been turned by his lies and charms. She also doesn't answer her e-mails properly.

"Emily" (ironically not me) also does not answer e-mails promptly or accurately and is new to the Board so again, ignorant and constantly doesn't answer the question properly. The question is "can we tell the resident x"and she answers with -- can she get this in writing ?

The good news... in a few months three members other than me will leave the board... the bad news.. I don't think I can take it.

We agreed at the last meeting that when there is a question the board will not e-mail the property manager and will make its decision outside of the property manager. Then *I* would e-mail the property manager the final decision. But so far I don't even understand what the final decision is. So last night after getting three answers that didn't seem to authorize certain behavior, I e-mailed Christine who had answered with

"I want the work to be done"

But the question was, do you want the work to be done and have the Unit Owner come to our next meeting. I asked her nicely if he wanted the Unit Owner to come to our next meting. She answers.

"I want the work to be done"

Yeh, I don't know what games you people are playing but I am tired of it.

What is wrong with people? I swear.
