Masks

So NY state made a new mask rule. People need to wear a mask within 6 feet of eachother and all essential employees need to wear masks.
Today my boss finally brought me a mask. I very much appreciated his gesture although the mask I've been using is better. So for not I am sticking to using the mask I have. Especially because one mask he brought only covers my mouth or nose, not both and what ever is in the material made my skin itch, and the other one I brought looks like it should go over a dog snout.
I did my daily security in the office halls. No one was wearing a mask. I can understand people in an office by themselves not wearing a mask, but I saw people hovering over eachother, looking at the same computer screen, no mask...
Because my car was frozen it took me slightly longer to get to work so I had no time to get breakfast.  Between my security check points I stopped at a sub shop for a breakfast sub. The manager there was not wearing a mask. When I asked her why she said that she was further than six feet from me. I explained that from what I understand of the law, essential workers are now required to wear a mask and only regular people does the six feet adhere to. Besides the fact she definitely wasn't six feet from the food she was preparing.  She didn't seem to care. I was tempted to say forget it, I won't eat then. But I also did not want to hear a complaint from my employer of me being a jerk and it was my only food option at that time. As the day has gone on I have came to the conclusion that 98% of the essential employees in this plaza are not wearing a mask. I wish I could report it but I am not sure it that would affect my job in the same. And I'm sure people would hate me after that making my job more miserable that it already is at times. This is the main reason I keep my blog anaomous.  Although,  I do hope maybe someone with some influence may happen upon my blog and crack the whip on making people wear masks.
I read an article yesterday about how a family was not allowed in a tornado storm shelter because they didn't have enough masks. As I walked through the hallway of one of my checkpoints I thought about that article.  I couldn't leave a child in danger. I wondered to myself why didn't someone take off their shirt and rip it to make the family some sort of mask?
People are so selfish and self absorbed.  "I don't want to wear a mask so I don't"... is all I hear from these self absorbed people.  Do you think I enjoy having not face breakout from wearing a mask? No, I definitely do not. Do you think I like having my nose squashed and my ears pulled on all day? No, I do not.  But I do my part in trying to avoid the spread of this virus. I am just ashamed at how selfish people really are. It's making me really start to hate people more than I already do.
