Just started working at a tiny firm. I started using 365 there with one login before someone realized my account's email address was the same as a prior employee's email, which was causing issues with me receiving a lot of junk mail and confusion over communications externally. The solution to this issue was for them to change my login and email address.

Since this happened, I can't log into MS 365 apps on my PC desktop. I can access the web apps just fine, with the exception that Word and Excel are operating as "view only" apps. The error message when I go to log in reads something like

"Another account from your organization is already signed in" and prevents me from going any further.

I can access the office's One Drive from the web but not sure if desktop is accessible there either. For some reason Outlook works just fine in both formats.

Does anyone know how to fix this? My next option is to like hire my own personal IT asst. to sort this out. It's been 4 days of troubleshooting this at a new job while on-boarding and I just really need it to work.

If I just buy my own 365 to avoid having to deal with theirs, could this theoretically solve the problem? Or would the new Outlook and One Drive potentially overwrite the 2 apps I can actually use and make this worse?

Many thanks

I was a stay at home mom for a decade, and during that time my kids loved spending time together as a family. Now that the younger is 10 and the older a teen, they just want to stay in their rooms. Want to watch a movie together? No. Want to go to the pool? No. On the off chance one of them wants to go, the other doesn't. I can barely get them to even spend time with each other anymore.

It's so confusing trying to figure out how to keep the family feeling like a family when most of the time it feels like them trying to avoid being in the same room with me or each other. The divorce was over 5 years ago and this is new behavior within the last year. I barely remember my own childhood -- is this normal behavior for these ages? How do we as single parents do this and not feel lonely? This would be so much more manageable with a partner to talk to and commiserate or think up some solution. Any tips from those who've been through the teen years?
