The Condo Peter Hassebroek

A Novelistic Foray Into IneptitudeNewly retired Raymond Tibbett volunteers his IT career experience to resolve his condo board's floundering efforts to replace the WiFi provider. Only to realize the source of the struggle is the inept directors and their reliance on an indolent property manager with no qualms about leading the board astray. Complicating matters is Kayla Slaske, a younger woman he befriends whose grandmother owns a unit two floors below. The friendship grows to be something special for Raymond, but is tested by the discovery of a divisive, distressing link in their pasts, dating to the Second World War. The Condo follows one owner's experience as he penetrates the inner sanctum of a condo board. This propels him down a path challenging him to reconcile today's facile bureaucracies with those of his legacies, before he can achieve his humble desire to enjoy retirement in his condo.
