God bless my rechargeable fan. It really helps with the morning cuts from 7:30am to around 11am. Can go straight back to sleep.

Am I the only one experiencing power cuts at any time of the day for who knows how long?

It used to be consistently odd = AM, even = PM for us, but now we're losing power whenever including the night. Two days ago power was out from 2 AM to 4 PM (yes, 14 hours), yesterday from 3-5 PM and 10 PM to midnight. Now it's been out since 12 noon. There's no rhyme or reason to follow and it's seriously screwing up our work day.

I just got my 2nd cut of the day which never usually happens. Had 1 from 7:30 to 11:30am today and another 1 just started around 1:15pm

I fucking hate those cunts and whichever fuckwit didn't think this would happen and take preventative measures needs to be spat on until they drown in phlegm

They were fucking around today like they had a work experience kid flicking the switches. Mine was out 7.30am-11.45am, then off briefly at 12pm, and off again briefly about 10 minutes later. :dm:

Wonder if there was work done to the infrastructure today? Was a bit unusual to have to run the generator all day from 7 to 5 (and we're not in the cut off zone supposedly) but thinking about it, today would have been the perfect day to do the needed upgrades, overcast, not extremely hot, and obviously not raining.

I know we complain about the powers that be (pun nintendo), but cutting them some slack, it's not like the Chinese have given the city much of a chance to cope with their tidal wave of extreme expansion.

The municipality has given them permission for all these developments, and it is the local official's job to co-ordinate improvements in infrastructure to keep up with them. It's not like they gave permission for free either. :? The developers should be held more responsible too, they constantly destroy streets with their trucks and digging, while generally making a mess and spreading wet concrete spills, dust and sand all over the neighborhood.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
