Chairman's Award: Chairman's Award - Issue reason: Your outstanding contributions to this community have not gone unnoticed. IN my view you are a worthy recipient of the (rarely used) Chairman's Award. 
Default Re: What made you feel good today?

That habañero sauce is just awesome, I love it on a peanut butter sanger.

Mister Four will appreciate this one; the highs and lows of contract maintenance.

Waited over three months to resolve a failed tap washer. Needed access through one strata lot to shut off the water in another lot. Seriously, what sort of tightwad developer forces you to access your own water shutoffs via a stranger's bathroom? My repeated polite efforts to make contact went unheeded, while another tenant was literally suffering water torture, they couldn't stop the flow from a basin tap that runs noisily.

Finally, I sat down and drafted the most forceful-yet-polite letter I could muster, put in an envelope, taped it over the offending unit's keyhole. (If this didn't work, I was going to get a bit more crafty and less by the book.)

96 hours later, RESULT. Everyone locked in to a date, time and scope of works.
