Hey @Eskom_SA
Just because it's middle of the night, doesn't mean we won't notice our power isn't back. It's fucking hot, I've been lying awake with a sick toddler for two hours. TURN IT BACK ON.

Twins on the way and terrified.

Not sure whether I like the new "Twitter". Either way, the app never appealed to me. Not really a thing where I'm from.

[Jade Bothma 📚 @JBBothma]

@Eskom_SA how is it that Group 8 in GQ has been off since MIDNIGHT (almost 8 hours) and you don't say a WORD about what's happening? You're disgusting.

[Jade Bothma 📚 @JBBothma]

Hit 10k today. Here's to the next 10k.

@goodreads Haven't read many. However, I recently finished BILLY SUMMERS and it was a knock out.

[Jade Bothma 📚 @JBBothma]

If you bought a secondhand bookshop, what would you call it? I'd call it NEEDFUL THINGS and hope that at least a few people got the reference.

Sitting on the couch trying to think of how to promote a book that's only 10% complete (first draft).

[Jade Bothma 📚 @JBBothma]

Recently finished BILLY SUMMERS by @StephenKing and once again, I was blown out the water. Not what I expected at all. The movie better live up to it.

[Jade Bothma 📚 @JBBothma]

@Eskom_SA Turn our power back on! It's been over 2 hours now.

[Jade Bothma 📚 @JBBothma]

@Eskom_SA tell the guy that flips the switch to turn GQ group 8 back on now. Did he go on his lunch break or what?

[Jade Bothma 📚 @JBBothma]

@Eskom_SA group 8 in PE has been off since 1:30 this afternoon with no announcement of faults in the area, no updates of progress. It has now been 2 and a half hours, pushing 3. What is happening

[Jade Bothma 📚 @JBBothma]

@Eskom_SA explain why our power went off even not in loadshedding times. Really sick of you not being able to do the one job you're required to do. For the entire dang country.

[Jade Bothma 📚 @JBBothma]

@Eskom_SA implementing stage 4 immediately without warning is negligent behaviour. How are you equipped to run out country's power?

[Jade Bothma 📚 @JBBothma]

@Eskom_SA cannot fathom we have loadshedding on Christmas Eve... Wouldn't be surprised if you kept it going on Christmas.

[Jade Bothma 📚 @JBBothma]

@Eskom_SA wanna explain why our power was off from 22:00 to 01:37 last night? Think we'd be asleep and not notice? Thing is it's really hot without power so no, we did notice. Do your job.

[Jade Bothma 📚 @JBBothma]

@ML_Philosophy Intelligent.

@jodyjsperling I don't know if I'd write better, but I'd have more time to read and write.

[Jade Bothma 📚 @JBBothma]

@jodyjsperling That's the only time I do. I will also generally try do work if I'm sick and able as I work from home. Just keep my camera off and stay in bed. My bosses hate it with a passion and get real upset. I have taken 1 sick day this year. It's a habit based on guilt from childhood.

I love Halloween, but it's over now. The pumpkin in my name has been replaced with a Christmas tree. I am happy 🎄
