Our HOA is managed by a smaller local management company. I also serve on our local HOA board with 2 other neighbors. This morning I called our management company about a leak in our building and was totally distracted by this comment. Manager” I was just making out my Christmas List for my properties”. Me ” what do you mean? ” Manager” you know how we sent out David and Harriets gift baskets?” Manager ” your hoa president was kind enough to email our management company and stated this” ” Dear Management, if you are going to send out Christmas presents this year, please do not send me any fruitcakes and I do not like fruitcake!” Me ” I am soo soo soo embarrassed, and ashamed that our president said this! Please do not let this be a reflection on the rest of our board!~”

Personally I am mortified that an adult professional woman would send that email to our hired management company! Is there anyway to make sure they understand how apologetic I am for this assss??

a service offered by a friend, which ostensibly is helpful for many of the people who work here? I control the email list and someone requested that I send out this advertisement. I’m not sure it’s appropriate, even if some people find the service useful.
I’m being cryptic b/c i don’t want real life people to guess who i am.

for example: coworker tells me that his friend offers home painting services for cheap and can i please email everyone in the company to let them know.

can you go to the store and ask them to take you off? or a place on their website thanks!

i got a gift card today from them. i buy my sisters sometimes lotion from there but im not sure why i got a gift card or on their mailing list…. how do you get off it?
