I have a question, do you guys have traffic lights that work during loadshedding?
Most of our major ones are always powered even if there is loadshedding

No, the ones here by me go out when the power goes out.

I hear that the theft of traffic light batteries is a thing in metro areas across the country. Everything is up for grabs in this country of desperation.

Nope, they’re all off over here.
As long as we stay stage 2 or less, we only have 1 hour off in the next 48 hours.

It was just on my mind, cos when I drove home 2 nights ago in the dark, all the traffic lights especially the big ones, all working. Minor ones they dont bother with. I just thought it interesting. And then the fact that the Cape is normally stage 1 to the rest of the world.

Still loadshedding as usual. Im just happy to be in the Cape with less loadshedding thanks to the Steenbras power unit.
The boss is in a meeting today with one of his contractors and the QS, they have been kakking the builder out since 10am . . . .

So serious moment for a bit. How does your work deal with work staff being drunk while at work. Not necessarily drinking at work but came to work still under the influence of booze

Send them home, write them up, hold a disciplinary hearing. If they get 3 strikes for the same offence in 6 months, you can legally dismiss them.

Ok, so this guy just turned 18 and is trying to finish high school. Good, I don’t mind helping him get online for classes and stuff. He came in this morning, basically asking if I could do a rush job and wipe/reinstall the windows install. I had to tell him not before the weekend unfortunately.
Along comes a guy who’s been helping along since he was a kid, telling him to hurry up to the zoom meeting that was gonna start, presumably in 13 minutes, or he’ll be late (going around the corner and up the stairs).
Poor guy is panicking, holding some papers. He works with finance, so I look over to see what’s wrong, only to see a printout of the company telephone list, missing the first chunk of everyone’s first name. I tried to fix this months ago, but the person who created the file is the only one who can print it correctly. I never did get it resolved after putting in a good chunk of time.
“I need this for home”, he said, practically shaking.
“Do you still have the old list? There weren’t that many changes.” I think I ignored his response to this, as I can only remember saying, “They’re all alphabetical. You should be able to line it up with the old one and find what you need”
I think there were 2 or 3 changes on the only new list sent out since March.
Would I be out of line if I ask him if his wife beats him when he doesn’t accomplish something she asked him to get done, exactly the way she wants it done?
