so my 4 day workweek has started, 5 days of work in 4 days then there’s a burst water pipe that occured over the weekend, so no water, the power is going to go off at 4 because the powerbox in the road was built on top of the waterpipe (dont know what genius came up with that idea) and we will most likely not be able to arm the alarm at closing time
fun times
Goeie moer dude - that is mental! And yes that is such a bugger up with the electricity box on top of the water pipe.
Yep no matter what country you try to go too!

Aaand good morning. Have a good day
Morning peoples! Had an eventful night of walking in my sleep a lot.
I’m pretty sure it’s because @Entity was late in signing off last night. Put us all out of sorts.
