Unmasked

I was in the break room today when one of my recent new hires came in, sat down, and removed his mask.

It was lunch time, after ....

And, as I sat there eating my own lunch, he started a conversation with about something I don't recall.

What I do recall is, just how different he looked without his mask!

until that point, 3 weeks into working with this guy, I had never seen him without his mask .

And, it was mind blowing!

" my God, I don't think I've ever seen your face before."

It was like an identity unveiled....

He laughed and, for the first time, I could actually see his smile.

"I know, these masks kind of ruin things."

I miss being able see peoples faces, their expressions, their smiles. I never realized just how much of a lip reader I was until I could no longer see lips during a conversation.

I long for things be somewhat normal again....

    I'm a lip reader too. I miss a lot of conversations now. I have a new co-worker who I hadn't seen without her mask and considered her attractive until she took it off...
I wonder what people think when I take my mask off....

    It's hard to maintain or recognize a resting bitch face with a mask, at least that's a plus........lol
Very true... That is a plus!

    Who would have thought this time last year, that, in 2020 we'd be covering our faces rather than our assets
In a million years I wouldn't have guessed that I'd be doing the things I'm doing now.... Masks? Social distancing?? Home school???

    Thankfully he wasn’t hideous. But this new reality has changed how we perceive each other. I don’t get carded at checkout anymore and my glasses fog up all the time
I don't even wear my glasses half the time anymore... My eyesight is suffering, too. I've already noticed my distance vision *with* my glasses on is blurry again. I'm also getting the eye strain headaches again.

    I understand about the lip reading. I think people read lips more than they realize. And i too will be glad when this COVID thing is all over with and we can get back to some kind of normalcy in our lives.
I certainly did... There is a lot of extraneous background noise that goes on where I work, between overhead music and paging and regular coworker conversations, my ears have a hard time focusing on the person who it having a conversation with me, at times. Especially when they are a quiet talker or have difficulties enunciating certain sounds. It all just blends together.
