Khangela, xa umatshini uphuma kwindawo yethu yokusebenzela, ingcinga yokuqala yomntu wonke kukusebenza. Indlela osebenza ngayo ngokukhawuleza. Indlela elibukeka ligudileyo ngayo ilaphu. Nokuba liza kuyiphatha na intambo yomthengi ngaphandle kokwenza nantoni na. Oko kuyavakala—yile nto sichitha ixesha lethu elininzi kuyo.
Kodwa xa sele ipakishwe kwaye ikwilori, kukho into eqala ukuba nomdla. Kwaye inyanisekile, uninzi lwabantu alucingi ngayo de kube sebusuku kakhulu. Ukufuma.
Ewe, ndiyazi. Kuvakala ngathi yingongoma ekruqulayo. Kodwa keUmatshini ojikelezayookanyeUmatshini wokutshixa, ukufuma ngexesha lokuthunyelwa kunokubangela iingxaki zokwenyani. Ayilohlobo olubona ngoko nangoko. Uhlobo oluvela kamva, emva kokuba umatshini ufakiwe, uze ukrwele intloko yakho uzibuza ukuba kutheni ilaphu lingabukeki lilungile.
Ukuthunyelwa ngenqanawa yeyona nto imbi kakhulu kule nto. Cinga ngayo—isikhongozeli sihlala enqanaweni kangangeeveki. Emini kuba shushu, ebusuku kuyaphola. Oko kutshintsha kobushushu kubangela ukufuma ngaphakathi kwisikhongozeli. Awunakukubona kusenzeka, kodwa kulapho.
Kwaye ukufuma akudingi nto ingako. Intwana nje, ngokuhamba kwexesha, inokuqala ukuchaphazela umphezulu wesinyithi. Izinto zangaphakathi. Izinto ezichanekileyo. Ubuninzi obuncinci bokufuma—akukho nto imangalisayo—bunokukhokelela kwi-oxidation. Okanye utshintsho lomphezulu oluphazamisana nokunyakaza kwenaliti okanye ukufana kwesitishi. Akukho nto ibonakala iphukile xa uvula isikhongozeli. Kodwa xa umthengi ekugqibeleni evula umatshini? Kuvela iingxaki ezincinci. Intshukumo enzima. Ilaphu elingahambelaniyo. Izinto ezingafanele zibekho.
Yiyo loo nto kanye siphatha ukhuseleko lokufuma njengenxalenye yokupakisha. Asilonyathelo elongezelelweyo. Asinto esiyenzayo “ukuba sinexesha.” Yindlela esenza ngayo izinto.
Ngaphambi kwayo nayiphi naUmatshini ojikelezayookanye xa umatshini we-Interlock ushiya apha, uvalwa ngaphakathi kwengxowa yeplastiki engenamanzi. Ngaphakathi kwengxowa, sibeka izinto zokucoca umoya—ezo phakheji zincinci ezifunxa umswakama, kodwa ezinkulu. Emva koko sitsala umoya size siwuvale. Ingcinga kukudala indawo encinci ezinzileyo ejikeleze umatshini engatshintshiyo, nokuba kwenzeka ntoni ngaphandle kwesikhongozeli.
Emva koko, umatshini ufakwa kwibhokisi yomthi. Oko kukukhusela ngokwasemzimbeni—ukugquma, ukuqokelela izinto, iifolokhwe. Kodwa nantsi into efunekayo: ibhokisi yomthi yodwa ayanelanga. Ukuba awuphathi ukufuma ngaphakathi, ukufuma kuya kungena nangayiphi na indlela. Umthi awuyeki loo nto.
Oku kubaluleke kakhulu kwiihambo ezinde, okanye xa izikhongozeli zihamba kwiimeko ezahlukeneyo zemozulu. Uqala kwindawo eyomileyo, emva kweentsuku ezimbalwa inqanawa ifika kwindawo efumileyo. Ubushushu buyatshintsha. Ukufuma kuyenzeka. Sikubonile.
Ndifunde kule minyaka idlulileyo—kulula kakhulu ukuthintela ezi ngxaki kunokuzilungisa kamva. Nje ukuba umhlwa okanye i-oxidation ziqale, ucoca izinto, mhlawumbi utshintshe iindawo ezincinci. Oko kuthatha ixesha. Kwaye ixesha kumthengi lithetha ukuba imali ilahlekile.
A Umatshini ojikelezayookanye umatshini we-Interlock kufuneka ufike ulungele ukusebenza. Awulungelanga ukucoca. Awulungelanga “ubukhulu becala.” Ulungele. Oko kuthetha ukuba akukho mangaliso ngenxa yomswakama ngexesha lohambo.
Ukhuseleko lokufuma aluyonto intle. Akukho mntu uthatha iifoto zengxowa yokucoca i-vacuum kwiwebhusayithi. Kodwa yenye yezinto ezincinci eziqinisekisa ukuba umatshini usebenza kanye njengoko kulindelekile xa ufika kumzi-mveliso womthengi. Kwaye inyani, yiloo nto ibalulekileyo.
