STOP COMPLAINING - PLEASE!!!!!! IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD........
Ah so more load shedding today...
And the amount of frustration everybody has been venting via Facebook and other social media sites is quite amazing.
We had our blackout between 6 and 8.30pm. Yes a pretty inconvenient time being dinner time and TV time. Of course if you have small kids it's hellish. Trying to get them bath, fed and in bed in the dark. I totally understand. My boys were also young once upon a time and although we didn't have load shedding then we did have the occasional power failure at the worst possible times.
However (and yes now I'm going to vent) I am heartily sick to death of the complaining people. It's around 2 hours of no power. TWO HOURS. And everybody is carrying on like the world has come to an end. We live in South Africa - the national pass time is the braai. So if it's over dinner time then go braai. Download the schedule from the internet and if you don't have access ask a friend and stick it up on your fridge and highlight when your area is going out. AND PREPARE. Have a meal ready early. Or make something that can be eaten cold. If the kids are small bath them a bit earlier. Or heaven forbid let them go to bed dirty. It's one night.... even if it was a school night you can still get them up the next morning to have a quick bath or shower. Plan to be out when your power is scheduled to go down - in an area that isn't going down - consult the damn schedule.
