I attempted blogging yesterday, during TWO of my breaks. Each time my computer shut off. I thought the executive powers were telling me something. no blogging, even IF this is your only source of internet today, your work is done and your family is waiting impatiently to hear about your adventures.
Then it occured to me... my computer was actually shutting off everytime the power surged. A few of you may know how often that happens in Africa... So I put in a request for a surge protector. Today came and still no surge protector. So I was creating an excel file on a pad of paper and then during periods of good power typing them quickly into a table on my computer. I think today my computer shut off about 4 times before 11am when I gave up on it completely. Around 1230 a man came in to look at it. (Mind you he was the 3rd person representing a 3rd department to come try to fix the issue). He shuffled my furniture a bit, looked around... and then he did this magic thing. He unplugged the computer and plugged it into a different socket. a socket that was apparently MADE to withstand Tanzanian power surges.
So there is my story for today. tomorrow will be another good one, I promise.
and turns out we may have found a WONDERFUL apartment... we are just waiting for the management to kick the current inhabitants out... :0)
