As everybody knows, i had 3 jobs. Cleaning, Waiting and Volunteering. Due to a BLACK OUT in my flat this week, I wasn’t able to volunteer trying to fix it.
Yeah, we had no electricity for almost 3 days. It started last Sunday (0410), when we woke up and nothing was working. So, few hours later, after talk to the Company responsible for the power, it came back.
However, Monday morning, day to work it wasn’t working again. Can you imagine having a shower without light? The bathroom has no window. Are you afraid of a shower in the dark? Lol… At least the hot water was working.
Resuming, we didn’t have power until Tuesday afternoon. That´s why I had to miss the Volunteer Job this day. I had to call the owner of the flat, the power company, the manager of the Zest apartments, and when I thought we had to call a technician, the manager of the Zest came to fix it!! UFA!!
Afterwards, as I was called to work on Wednesday at Wildfire, I missed the volunteer job again. And more: I will be working everyday, 7 days a week, from the next week. And Monday to Saturday, cleaning.
Enough, right? I have volunteered for a short period, but anyway I did it.
Nevertheless, another problem has happened. Not happy with their salaries and due to School Holidays, the bus drivers are now on STRIKE!!! Yeah!! Did you think it happens only in Brazil? No way!!!
One thing I have to say. Opposite than Brazil, which you wake up and realize that there are no buses operating, one or two days before the strike, they announced it to everyone who was taking a bus. You see? First world!!! Lol.
Anyway, since Wednesday almost all companies are on strike and I have to catch another one which is more expensive! I hope tomorrow they re-start working. Or at least soon!!!
A lot of news coming up…
