Job wants me to have my WFH setup ready “as soon as possible”, but the deadline is supposed to be May 1st

So, my call center job is shifting to a WFH position for the location I'm in now. They've told us that we could either quit, move to the other Texas locations they have, or do the WFH option. I picked the latter and they've since given me: the monitor, computer, keyboard, mouse, headset, and the 50ft ethernet cable. Great, fantastic I don't have to buy all this stuff. Now, as far as equipment I needed to buy was a computer desk, a good chair, wall clips for the ethernet cable, and the surge protector to plug the computer into. Flash forward to yesterday actually when I first of all, didn't know there wasn't an on-site shift. And secondly, when I emailed my supervisor about when I should have all my stuff setup (as I have yet to build the desk I've received yesterday), I was told as soon as possible…

Flash forward to yesterday actually when I first of all, didn't know there wasn't an on-site shift. And secondly, when I emailed my supervisor about when I should have all my stuff setup (as I have yet to build the desk I've received yesterday), I was told as soon as possible which is a pretty vague statement to me. And thirdly, when I emailed the WFH supervisor(s), they all pretty much said the same thing and that is have it all set up by today. I was under the impression that May 1st was the deadline, so which is it? Is the deadline supposed to be today or the first Monday of May?
