One way of keeping the bills down
So, WHAT was the reason?
Stuff breaks- deal with it.
Well done SSEN for working through the night.
Rude old fart.
Why do we continually hear this term outage? What was wrong with good old fashioned power cut?
Everything seems to be an outage these days…water outage, gas outage, electrical outage….would you say someone that dies has experienced a life outage?
All sounds like excuse speak to me to make it sound less dramatic.
A power cut caused by a bird shorting out a transformer….a power cut.
The only outage was for the bird, life outage!
don’t know about you, but I’m a sucker for a bit of joined up, blue sky thinking. I love nothing more than the opportunity to touch base with my boss first thing on a Monday morning. It gives me that 24 carat feeling.
I apologise for the sarcasm, but management speak makes most people want to staple the boss’s tongue to the desk. A straw poll around my office found jargon is seen by staff as a tool for making something seem more impressive than it actually is.
It’s all complet woke crap that have perverted common sense and reality..
I will have to get back to you when I have drilled down to examine my options.
