Power outages

As I have already told many people, Nepal only has electric power 8 hours a day. In addition, the 8 hours are split into two 4 hour blocks (which I think usually occur 8 hours apart from each other) and the timing of these blocks shifts frequently -- perhaps every couple of days. I've heard conflicting things about whether there is an actual schedule posted somewhere, but I think that some people have just cracked the code and can predict when the shifts will occur based on their experience with the patterns over time. Beyond the inconvenience for people like me, I simply cannot understand how anyone can conduct business under these circumstances, so I hope that they will find some way to resolve their energy problem sometime in the not too distant future.
