Facing more bad news – 10/28/25
I hope everyone is doing okay. I started working at 8:20am this morning. Had a little late start to my work day. I took my time and took a deep breath and prayer before I got my day started. I feel I’m in a nightmare, this really happens at work and to me. I question…
