The Electricity Board has many employees, thought the amount of work they actually do is questionable.
Many times I have seen one man atop the electricity pole while 4-5 stand around at the bottom drinking tea. It often turns out that the man on the pole is an unconfirmed temporary worker. If he falls the reimbursement is minimal.
I was paying the electricity bills online from wherever I was very efficiently online. All of a sudden this month the website refused to work. It just hung for 3 days.
I sent a man with the money to pay.
"I can't count all this money said the obese lady at the counter.
"then how can I pay?"
"Go to the bank," she said rudely, "deposit the money and then issue a check."
I went to the bank but it was past time.
"Come tomorrow," they said.
Luckily no one stole the money.
The next day was a bank holiday (2nd saturday>
We went on Monday and deposited the money.
The man went to the EB bill and presented the check.
That afternoon a pompous EB employee came to disconnect by pulling out the fuse.
I totally lost it.
"I have submitted the check."
"I can't help that " he said, "the check will take two days to clear.."
"Your website is not working."
"I can't help that. It is another department.'
"I can't help it if they find your head under my generator," I said, "who asked you to go there."
" I am not near your generator."
"You are not, I said, "but your head soon will be."
He fled on his TVS.
