@DavyL200: I read lots of your postings on Norecco11. I am guessing you are NOT a fan - a good job too, as most of the time you would not be working.
NORECO will never change, it doesn't sound like they have changed in the 5 years I have been gone. We had a generator, a UPS power supply for our computer, and surge protectors to help with our appliances.
They have improved. Brownouts are far less frequent than they were when I first moved here. Instead of 100 years behind Western country's electrical grids they are now only 75 years behind. There is a chance, albeit a small one, that there are few people alive today that will get to experience something that resembles a functional electrical grid.
A little to their credit, they are also working with smaller crews and reduced hours due to covid. At least they were during ECQ.
I did notice the lighter crews. Yesterday I saw a crew with only 3 guys watching 1 guy work instead of the usual 5. Question, what is yellow and sleeps 4? Hint, it has two bamboo ladders on top. Only joke, na lang.
