Accidentally mistook a WFH announcement for an invite—how to bounce back?😅💻

I mistakenly thought my manager’s Outlook invite saying “Working from Home” was an invitation for me to WFH too. I even convinced myself it was true—after all, I do love the idea of working from home! But nope, it was just her letting us know she’d be working remotely. A colleague reached out, asking if I was in the office so they’d know I wasn’t. Now I’m panicking—how do I explain this without sounding like a total fool? Saying I misread it feels like admitting I’m clueless, but ignoring it seems worse. This is only my first week in the department! Any advice on how to recover gracefully? Or should I just own the mistake and laugh it off? #WorkFromHome #OfficeMistakes #FirstWeekBlunders #CareerAdvice #RemoteWork
