Good evening, lauren.....I thought our slow internet was never going to let me post....problems all day, starting with the complete crash of the timesheet input website for a couple hours this morning.
It is back up, but the slows haven’t much improved (and my keyboard just froze...unplug, replug).
Did you have ghosties at your house? Grandbabies have fun?
