How does that work? Our sessions are usually at 2-2.5 hours at a time. Or do you somehow have 2 back-to-back sessions? Tomorrow (or rather, today), we have 2 sessions though. From 11:00 - 13:30 and then again from 19:00 to 21:30. :frowning:

Our sessions are 4 and a half hours at a time. When it hits stage 4 there’s often two of them in a day.

Yes, but that’s for Joburg due to some City Power thing. FarligOpptreden is in Centurion like me. (Unless he was spending the evening in Jhb :slight_smile:)

But 9 hours a day without power is hectic. I feel for you. Luckily Eskom said that they’ll try to have their stuff sorted out by end of this week. So holding thumbs.

Ditto. 4.5 hours at a time. Not sure if it’s a Gauteng thing because we use more than anyone else, but it sucks whatever the reasons.

We had 16:00-20:30 yesterday, getting ready for 08:00-12:30 this morning. Peak work and traffic hours.

Traffic in the Sandton/Fourways/Rivonia areas, and into the city on the M1 has been a complete and utter shitshow. 1hr 35m to travel from Marlboro on-ramp to Wits main campus yesterday - it’s 15km.

Eskom Direct customers too.

I read somewhere that City Power operates this way for some reason. To protect equipment or something, can’t remember now.

My sister lives on a farm close to Nelspruit and they get their electricity from Eskom directly… but thus far, they haven’t had any loadshedding for some reason.

Morning everyone. Sorry I haven’t been active. This week is insane the amount of work that I have, so I have no time to even write an article or anything. Already have worked 33 hours according to my timer app since Monday

Howdy all

Just popping in to say hi. Got my parents here, and my maple syrup…

Went to Rock Mammas with them last night. They brought my burger out with guac after I told them ā€œno guacā€. I called over the Jr manager in training, told him a get violently ill from avid. He came back with a ā€œbrand newā€ one. After I finished, he came to ask if I had any reactions, and said ā€œI hope you don’t. I hope!ā€

I’m waiting for a call from their operator (hipster name for branch manager I guess), who’s gonna check the cameras today.

Any idea what my options are here? Isn’t there some kind of health board I can report them to?

Welcome to South Africa Mom and Pop Murfle. ā€œSorry, ehā€ about the state of our nation at the moment. I promise we’re not all complete arseholes - most of us are actually pretty decent humans. It’s just the loud and noisy ones who give our beautiful country a bad rep. I hope you enjoy your visit despite all the nonsense.

Not much you can do unless you’ve had a reaction. Then you speak to a lawyer and start with ā€œOne Million dollarsā€
