Adjusted again

My employer announced yesterday that our return to office plans have been delayed indefinitely, from "sometime after Labor Day" to "we'll have another announcement in late October." This is fine, except I'd been sort of counting on being able to go into the office in September, when T is planning to redo our upstairs floor (replacing carpet with hardwood). This is a project we were supposed to do last summer and have been talking about for years, so I am reluctant to put it off any further (the carpet is ugly, falling apart, and possibly the source of our long-running moth infestation), but working from home with a construction site overhead is not my idea of a good time. So we'll see what happens.

Oh no :( I mean, I'm glad your office is being careful about return but yeah, working during construction is not the best. I recommend noise cancelling headphones. (Having, in the past 18 months, gone through our roof replacement, the neighbors' roof repairs, and a thoroughly upsetting amount of road construction....)
