I guess we will see because he is is another mood this week, soooo.... Stage 6 on the horizon?

Look one does not complain about being skipped for load shedding, the last 4 weeks we were skipped at least 40% of our shifts. But it makes planning around load shedding a bit frustrating

To make it a bit more nerdy, we need someone to perform sentiment analysis on his speeches.

I see we are regularly skipping the early morning sessions.

^^ That's why it's best not to talk about any skipping.

Anyway this thread is making us dizzy o_O
 
Freaking stage 4 is really not needed during the day by the looks of it

But we cannot see the real numbers, so we have to rely on the ones presented to us.

Ha, a minor uproar happened yesterday in CT when we were supposed to be on Stage 2 from 4 PM-10 PM and then CoCT suddenly changed it to Stage 4 at 5 PM due to a generator failure at Steenbras (this was only announced around 30 mins after 5PM). The peeps on ESP don't hold anything back. Wow.
