AFTER WORKING ABOUT AN HOUR. THE TECHNICIAN, WHO SUPPOSEDLY WAS A PARTNER OF ms, HAD E RUNNING OK. I SAID I'D PAY ONLY AFTER I GOT AN INVOICE AND HAD CHECKED WITH ms. THEY RESISTED, BUT AGREED. I FILLED OUT THE ms FORM, BUT THREE HOURS LATER, NO REPLY YET. IT'S HAD TO TALK TO, OR EVEN CHAT WITH, A HUMAN BEING AT ms. ANYONE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH, 1 THIS PHENOMENON; 2 GETTING TO ms ABOUT IT?
