Trust me the trustee

This evening at the body corporate AGM something happened worth noting. I was fed with fluffy and flavourful quiche, mellowed out with aromatic herbal tea and sugared up with Italian biscotti so that by the time we arrived at the ‘new appointments onto the board of trustees’ item on the agenda- I was nominated and could but concede. I am assured it entails little more than attending the meetings (which I go to anyway) and perhaps occasionally overseeing the signing of cheques. But a pattern is emerging which hints at more to come. Like Sandra who has experienced this all before it seems first you move into the building and become a Pillemer, then you become a trustee and then suddenly you are in charge of things like drawing up a window-cleaning roster for the building. hmmm.
