‘… the faceless men who control our life from behind closed doors’ is a line from an Alistair Hulett song, that great singer-songwriter from Scotland and Newtown.

I’ve just gotten the “please do not contact the Executive Committee directly, you must go through the Strata Manager” treatment. We had no Foxtel or cable internet from last Friday afternoon until Monday morning (yes, I know, First World Problem) and all that needed to be done, we found out on Monday morning, was press a button to reset the Foxtel box in the Meter Room because it had been inadvertently turned off with the building’s power, while some work was done on the electricals. Of course nobody knows who was in there but somebody was. So it was ‘unauthorised’.

Wouldn’t it make sense for just one EC member out of seven to be able to be contacted, who knows the problem and can do something? Someone rang Foxtel and they’ll have to pay quiet a lot for the ‘call out” which benefits the other dozen households who lost their cable TV and internet.

The Strata Manager insists the only way to deal with it was call the Strata Manager’s emergency weekend service (who wouldn’t have been able to help anyway.)

Executive Committee? Strata Manager? What the —-! Get a grip!
