In my later work life, I found the ability to cram / pull all nighters in response to an urgent client need or tech problem at least as valuable as anything else I learned in school. Sure, time management needs to be learned, also, but to be honest higher education UNTEACHES that (you can always skip a class, or avoid classes that meet before 10 am).
Jerry Reinsdorf. owner of the Chicago White Sox (and the Bulls), for chutzpah.
He’s campaigning for the city/state to get him ANOTHER new stadium for the Sox (he already held us up for Rate Field, formerly Comiskey Park II, U.S. Cellular Field and then Guaranteed Rate Field), while at the same time putting such a terrible team on the field they set the major league record for most losses, to discourage attendance so he can move the team claiming lack of support.
I don’t doubt any of the HOA horror stories I read about.
But, as a 7 year HOA president (because I can’t get anyone else to take over the job), I don’t understand how people have the time to be so petty. It’s all we can do to keep the elevators running, the trash collected, the HVAC in good shape, the appropriate city and state inspections done, the assessments being paid, the management firm’s monthly financial reports checked, etc. My point is that there’s enough unpaid work that NEEDS to be done.
