I didn't want to get in on the power outages thing, but who can resist it?
There have to be people who love it:
Criminals, of course, love it to bits. They run around acquiring geysers, just to be able to switch them on. By now they probably have contacts on the "inside" to let them know where and when the outages will occur. (They are probably the only ones who do know!)
Cell phone companies must be making a killing out of teenagers.
"Hi....so wacha doing?"
"Dunno....I can't see..."
"Wanna chat?"
"Sure, what else is there to do? Does your father mind?"
"Who cares ... he can't see where I am."
"But he can hear ... where's he?"
"Inside somewhere, trying to find his cell phone in the dark. Tee-hee."
"He'll kill you!"
"If he can find me."
And, of course, families are talking to each other now:
"WHO LEFT THE SEAT UP?!!"
"I did. Precaution. To drain. Couldn't see if it was hit or miss."
"Then SIT! Urine big trouble if you do it again."
Not so nice for:
The little birds. They find these great new apartments in the street lights, then crap themselves when the lights suddenly come on ......
Which brings us to the panelbeaters. They're not so sure. They have the business, but not the power.....
Or, of course, for Thabo Mbeki's African Renaissance, which excluded more power plants in its vision for the future. Where will he be when the lights come on? All gone ....
And Zuma? Where will he be ...? Quite probably, where he shouldn't be. But then, it was dark ...how was he to know when the lights would come on? An innocent mistake.
Perhaps it's just an Equity thing - like there have to be twice as many dark hours as light hours in a day ...? I don't know;I'll read the Bill again ...when I can see it.

About that Job ....
I've figured out what kind of a job I could live with - if any of you know of such a vacancy, let me know:
My office would be a penthouse suite in a marble mansion. (Facebrick would do.) I get to live in the rest of the house. My job is "research". Anything and everything of any interest to anyone. My bank of computers searches the internet ceaselessly and automatically, once I tell them what to look for. Weather patterns, economic boom areas, economic poverty areas, populations, cultures, inoperative fertile regions for agriculture, small towns just awaiting opportunities to boom, and so on. While the computers are doing all that, I use Google Earth to see what it all looks like. At least once a year, I get to do a trip abroad to visit some of the places and people we've identified. Of, course, the computers also compile reports and proposals to suitable businesses, investors and sponsors who would use this information to make this world a better-functioning place.
Of course, I'll need a few company vehicles. A Jeep Wrangler to explore the regions, (well, for me to play in), a suitable, classy vehicle to make an impression on investors, and, of course, a luxury SUV to cart the kids around in. I'll need a butler and sufficient household staff to keep up the standard of the residence, a P.A. to help me in the mornings and my daughter in the afternoons when she gets back from school - and to accompany us on our overseas trips - and a suitable expense account. I don't need much of a salary.
If you have just turned down such a position - or left one like it for a better job - do let me know. My e-mail "contact me" link is on the top right of the page - or just click here!
