Condo meeting

Had my first condo meeting since I moved in. We were all surprised at my age. For them, I am very young, to me, they are very much older. Other than that, things progressed in an orderly manner conducted by a person from the management team. After raising my issue at heart, snow removal during the winter, I remained silent throughout the meeting, seeing no need for anything else and relying on the 500+ years of experiences from the combined age of the group. Who’s going to give me slack anyway and I really am not that comfortable discussing finances in French. In fact, this is the first time I tried to discuss finances in French. So many unfamiliar legal terms.

What did surprise me though, is the unwillingness of the people to take up leadership position. Most of it fell to the young and capable (and away from me due to my sucky French and my noobness). I’ve always thought that older people tend to lead more, but what I saw was fraility, the fear of making mistakes and general dislike of responsibilities. Yes they’ve been there and done that… for sure.

In any case, the president position is in good hands and I can continue on to a trouble free life, provided that I pay my condo fees on time of course.
