Not A Happy Camper

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (322100) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 17 Feb

Good morning. It's warm, but that's not why I'm not a happy camper, even though my snow is almost gone. The 50s have a lot to do with that. Instead, it has everything to do with Microsoft. I thought I had a great way to make my...

Good Morning 2/13

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (322100) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 13 Feb

Yes, it's me. Before I start my day, I thought I would let you know I'm still among the living. I've been working so hard this year, I gave Microsoft a meltdown. I started seeing things and complained loudly to AI, who told me...
