Sandy (former HOA president, upstairs neighbor) sent me an email about six weeks ago asking if I could notarize some documents for her. Sure, I said, any time. We can do it in the hallway with masks. No problem. I've run into her in the lobby and garage a couple of time since and she's said 'ok, if I bring those docs by this week?' Sure, I said, any time. Last night I get an email asking if she could bring them by today. Sure, I said, any time.

Take your spare cash and buy a lottery ticket. Do not bet on her being here today with any documents for notarization. I've had people in my life who do stuff like this before. It used to make me crazy. Now I just laugh. See you when I see you. Maybe.

I actually do have a thing today. A zoom meeting at 11 with the UW team studying data collection. Nothing else on the agenda except the usual stuff. I'm done going out.

Biggie just brought me Stickie. I waved it around and he chased and then I tossed it across the room. He instantly went to get it and brought it back to me. Like a dog. Except. When I took it and tossed it again, I swear he looked at me with an expression that said "WTF?! I just went and got it for you. Why do you throw it again???!!!" and then went off to the bedroom. I guess we aren't playing fetch. My bad.

Shame on you for tossing it back to Biggie. It was a gift for you to keep.😆😉🙃

I would be so tempted to set a specific time in the hallway, and when she doesn’t show, say you are too busy the next time. But maybe having it scheduled will push her to get her act together.

I think what gripes me is the ego of it. The constant and consistent need to have me assure her that I will do her bidding at her convenience.

I used to work or a guy who did the same thing. I could not characterize it at the time, I just knew it was a stupid game he was playing with me and as my boss, he had me over a barrel. If I knew then, what I knew now...

The bottom line, though, in this case, is I don't care. If she has issues, she can have them. Outside of her little tet a tets around the building, it's no skin off my ass - to put a metaphor in the old vitamix.

She must not need the documents notarized very badly. I get annoyed when people do things like that, but not nearly as much as I used to.

Is it difficult to become a notary? I've thought about doing it several times because of my job but I've never looked into it.

LOL Biggie is a one and done kind of fetch player.

I'm sure it's vastly different state to state. Here, you had to fill out some paperwork - get it notarized (ha!) and send it in and then buy a stamp. The end. I think total it was $150 (the condo paid my fees cause they wanted an in house notary)

that drives me nuts when you make plans and people don't even bother calling you or anything, they just don't show up. It's bloody inconsiderate.

Tell her that you will meet her down in the lobby. All she needs to do is go down to the lobby and email or phone you that she is there and waiting. That way, it’s all on her. And you don’t waste time waiting and wondering.
