with the n-95 masks you can:
talk to yourself and no one see's your lips move.
you can forget your lipstick for the day.
you can grimace at your teacher's and they can't see it.
you can yawn or cough without covering your mouth.
you realize you need a breath mint.
you feel/look like michael jackson (without the sunglasses)
actually i am tired of wearing this thing....go away h1n1 !

My district does not even provide them...and we were discouraged from wearing the flimsy surgical masks that are provided. God forbid we should alarm anyone :icon_roll by protecting ourselves. I know I have been exposed, thankfully I have not fallen ill (yet...knock on wood).

We don't have masks. We were told not to wear them. Not sure how effective they would be anyways, unless we wore them continuously since we don't know who has what. I do hate them coughing on my phone, though.
