My phone upgraded and I can't handle the interface change cos I HATE CHANGE. It's bad for typical but really bad for me.

Technically speaking I am not allowed to work from home. However, because of the wildfire smoke being so bad this year and because I have such sensitive asthma, on smoky days I am allowed to work from home. This is throwing off my schedule and routine so badly.
