Since when did we become Somalia?

Woke up 4 am to Skype with a client 12 timezone hours away. He had sent me new materials and given me additional tasks for an ongoing project. But even before that, I badly needed to update my online portfolio, which I was thinking, wouldn't take that long.

I had a full day scheduled.

But not today countered Meralco. Today, you will grind your teeth in agony. Bang your head against the wall.  For today, no storms, no earthquakes, no reasons, just a normal regular day, will be a no electricity day.

    Maester Dondz, mukhang yan yung standard Script na nakasaad sa Bible ng Support People ng Meralco. >.<

    Para bang "if reason is unknown, immediately say 'Maaaring nagkaroon ng emergency blah blah blah. . .'"

    BISTO! Hahaha.

  2. I did not pursue the point. It didn't really matter anymore. Kaasar lang talaga ang sagot na "maaring". The least that Meralco could do, in situations like that is to provide us customers with a definite answer. Is that too much to ask? "Pumutok ang transformer sa kanto ng Commonwealth and Quirino avenue. Inabot ng 7 oras para ito ay mapalitan ng aming crew." Hindi "maaring nagkaroon ng..." Halatang bola. Kung ganung rin lang naman ang sagot ay huwag na. Tsismis lang pala e. At sa official Meralco FB page ko nilagay ang post na yan.
