The Sleepy Hollow seems to be having power issues these past few days. Out of the blue and for no apparent reason, we have grid blackouts. Middle of the night and blocks switch off including street lights and traffic lights. Kind of like load shedding I guess but I thought that was scrapped ages ago.
You would be wasting your time (like I did) calling the municipality power department to ask why there is no power. The response I got on the other side was, “Eishhh, I donnn’t knooowww”. So I asked if there was anyone or any other department I could call that would know and the response I got on the other side was, “Eishhh, I donnn’t knooowww”. So naturally being the curious type and not wanting to quit at the first hurdle I asked to speak to her supervisor. And in direct accordance with the current state of our nation I get the response, “I AM THE SUPERVISOR!”
Click! I put the phone down!
So now I sit in darkness. Perhaps I could just open my curtains? But more importantly, my life on the internet is about to come to a screeching halt when my laptop battery dies. So long people. See you sometime soon. Hopefully before this stupid government qualifies itself to be running a country and all it’s infrastructure and not just spending tax on personal gain.
There is an old joke I heard many years ago. What did Kenya use for light before candles? Electricity. I guess Kenya and South Africa aren’t that far apart anymore. That joke could soon be told about ALL of Africa. I bet if this continent just sunk into the ocean one night, the rest of world would not miss it. Well I guess Bono from U2 would have to come up with some other crap to banter on about but besides that? Hmmmm!
