After breakfast, some laundry and going to the market I ended up at the office. Waiting, waiting, waiting. The generator was not being turned on at 9am, per the usual. Those of us that depend on a desktop computer or printer were sitting twiddling our thumbs. Imagine sitting at your desk job and not being able to use your computer exactly when you wanted to. Work was simply not getting done. After an hour of waiting we all started to get antsy/irritated. Some headed out to the district offices to mooch off their power and internet. Others (myself included) went to the health center next door because of their snazzy solar panels. The rest just walked around looking purposeless.
There were rumors that the generator wouldn't work for the next two or three days. An ironic build of suspense since we are supposed to get legitimate electricity by Friday. But then as all things do, they turned around. Within a couple hours the generator was back on and we could function again.
Nothing here is predictable or consistent. So typical.
