Another WFH rant

DW and her friend are both in the study, having a very loud, very animated conversation.

I am WFH, also in the study.

I've got this spreadsheet which is really giving me the arse, and I can't help thinking I would have got it working by now if the animated conversation was happening in another part of the house, or indeed in another part of town.

If I unplug my laptop and take it to another room while the friend is still here, I will be perceived as antisocial.

Noise cancelling headphones can only cancel a certain amount of noise.

Bloody spreadsheet.

Thank you for listening.

You know your going get messages saying it's a home not a place of work! Why are you trying to share the same space - tell them to go elsewhere, like her bedroom.

Why are they in the study?

Your study must be enviably large.

Why are they in the study if you're working in there? Are they also supposed to be working? If not, use your words and ask them to relocate their conversation so you can concentrate.
