Well, I survived the most hellacious week of the year. It's when the owner of the community and the National Manager come down for their annual courtesy meeting with a few members of the HOA board to discuss next year's rent increase.
Thankfully everything went well. We still don't know how much the increase will be because the owner is trying to negotiate a deal that will give the residents a better value for the increase.
It's super stressful because he also inspects the park and last year I was in Alaska and it was when I was having a lot of issues with the previous manager next door. The park was not up to the usual standards and the owner wasn't happy. I came close to losing my job.
However, this year he was very happy. I was very stressed. I told my husband it was like Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. Only instead of us being the sharks, we're the poor bastards who got left behind treading water watching the boat get further and further away. Lol.
On top of that, our lake pump broke, the pool pump broke, the A/C in the clubhouse broke, I lost my internet service, and our time clock system is all messed up because of it. Add in all the residents and their issues... I'm ready to be fitted for my straight jacket. Oh, I forgot to throw in my son throwing a hissy fit and punching my husband while he was driving.
It's over. I have two days to kick back and chill. Then 5 work days before I'm on vacation. I. Can't. Wait.
I hope everyone enjoys the weekend!
