I'm not sure who to be mad at. Power goes out Friday as cables were falling. Power comes back Saturday night and then goes out after 10 minutes. This time a pole was on fire. Power comes back Sunday afternoon for about 4 hours then boom. Everyone heard whatever that was and no power again. Power is back around 6PM on Monday then off just after 9. I'm supposed to work from home today but sitting in a empty office. These shacks have caused nothing but problems but they have rights too.

Do you live in Ekurhuleni?

The power has been shambolic for the past two weeks.
 
Unnecessarily intrusive guards at gate complexes.

One I visit in Table View said I must call the owner on my phone and get her to call back the gate to let me in

I asked this guy if he liked his job. When he didn't reply, I said his attitude would result in me recommending to his boss that he get dismissed

He opened the gate

I cant find normal tracksuit pants with elasticated bottom because the fashion now is oversized pants. I just wanted light grey tracksuit elasticated pants in a size medium but some of the pants look horrible those wide legs I don't like them.

Try Refinery, Totalsports, Superbalist, MyRunway, Woolworths, MrP. They all have what you looking for.

Those are unpleasant jobs in the best of times where thought and initiative are often punished. Most of that unpleasantness is needing to deal with entitled AHs all day long.
 
I mean it breaks my heart but you'll see like these 7 year old kids I'm guessing far from home on a street corner, but they're walking, navigating through mean streets and highways, will buy themselves food with whatever rands they can hustle up, get home again.

Meanwhile my 12 year old is getting a lift home from school with a mate and gets everyone lost on the 2km route he navigates every day, and looks like a deer in headlights every time he needs to simply tap his bank card to pay for his almond milk no fat latte or whatever it is he buys. Like he'll look at the machine, look at his card, look at the cashier, look at me, turns the card around, turns himself around, by this time I think it's timed out so the process starts again.

Edit - he needs to insert his card and put in a pin he just drops everything and makes a run for it.

Hmmm parenting problem by the looks of it, almond milk latte. My 14 year old is planning a 15km hike for his discoverer badge, has been able to navigate home since he was 5.
 
Getting new glasses. The sunglasses go in this green case and the normal glasses in this case. Who cares? I know what sunglasses look like just give me the fcking glasses. Should I take the microfiber cloth out of the plastic? Just give me the fcking glasses. They'll Whatsapp me afterwards over the next few days. Just give me the fcking glasses. Bloody hell.
