On Thursday 12 June 2014, date of my last mental crisis, I unleashed my negative feelings towards the property developer of my building regarding few things that were imperfect:
1. The elevator: not working
2. The garage door: it can be opened manually
3. The front gate: it remains open without a proper rotatory mechanism.
4. The firewall doors: They make noise and when they close they are blocked.
I wrote emails to everyone and to all companies involved, I created a blog and a Facebook account. I threatened them to index my blog to Google, to post my blog and my Facebook account to every public forum and to bring down their names and their reputation. I also requested that each company involved will see their contract terminated at the next General Assembly of the owners of the building.
I received 2 phone calls, 1 email on Friday and 1 on Monday. They all tried to solve the problem without proposing anything (no date proposed). I intensified my threats by requesting the intervention of the Mayor on security issues and 2 public organisations.
On Monday at 12 pm, 5 people were waiting in front of the gate:
1. The project manager
2. An electrician
3. A cleaner
4. 2 technicians for the garage and the front gate.
They all fixed the problems and they tried to demonstrate they could not do more than that. The project manager had to stand and wait in front of the gate for the whole day.
I wrote an email saying I suspended all my actions until the full resolution of the list of problems. The property developer had to send an email and set a date for each of the problem I listed.
I am proud of myself. These problems can stay unresolved for a whole year and I managed to solve most of them in 4 days! They actually did not concern me much except for the front gate. Some squatters started to enter and it could give others ideas.
