It’s not really the time of weather for a snood or scarf and masks just look daft and irritating.
I’ve never wore one handling carcinogens. Don’t wear em welding, don’t wear em grinding. And that’s my choice as which it should remain. I go shopping last thing at night to avoid people and queues.

Always hard being made redundant. It's happened twice to me. When do you officially finish? It says a lot about you though that you're prepared to continue to provide as good a service as possible.

I know you're not supposed to argue with someone else's irritation but it's tough.

Well that's another irritation. We're well into the 45 day joint consultation and then up to 30 days individual. They've grossly underestimated the work the office gets through and the high level of customer service so suddenly "for our colleagues peace of mind" the office will close at the end of the year. Nothing in writing and not sure they can actually demand that but we'll see as questions are being asked of HR. I'm doing extra hours to help out the office as they're under huge pressure and working so hard - they have done so since lockdown in the belief they were saving all our jobs.
My Dad brought me up to always graft and do the best job I can - can't change that. Plus after 28 years I have some bizarre loyalty despite it being one-sided.

I get the loyalty thing. I was working for GE and even when GE Capital came in and took over running all the financial processes for the UK businesses (payroll, credit control P/L etc) I worked hard to make sure our accounts were fully reconciled and year end went without a hitch. I could have left it in a mess but that isn't my way.
I know it's a long shot, clutching at straws almost, that there is something that isn't right or can make them change the decision based on the level of service you are still able to provide. Have you had a chance to consider a "what next". As Frag said, maybe a time to look at something completely different

Truthfully - we're all ready to go and want it sooner rather than later. As for what next? Something...not sure what. I don't need to work financially but like to feel useful and like I'm contributing. Something will pop up I'm sure.

A few weeks ago our upstairs shower leaked into our dining room below . Seemingly it had been leaking for a while , rotting the chipboard flooring, and eventually the ceiling below. .
The insurance assessor says the shower cubical and toilet have to be removed and reinstalled, the full shower room floor and tiles to be lifted and replaced including vanity units, and skirting.
The adjoining linen cupboard floor and laminate flooring also to be completely renewed. A stud partition wall might have to be removed and replaced.
The 6 x 5 dining room ceiling below has to be removed and replaced, including coving, down lighting and fan removed and replaced .
All completely redecorated .
They estimate 2 full weeks work starting 8 AM next Monday.
So I'll have to be up early for the next 2 weeks, I'd forgot there was another 8 o'clock

No issues wearing a mask, I'll do whatever is needed to protect me and my family and have been for a while, but why has it taken so long to make it compulsory?

If most of us have managed without one for all of this time, why should we be forced to wear one now? This is the first stupid decision BJ has made so far. And to cap it off we are now following what the poison dwarf has put in place. Jesus, she'll be even more unbearable now.

Requiring masks to be worn 4 months into a global pandemic is a bit like taking condoms to a baby shower.

Not really when you realise that the baby shower is a full blown orgy.

Guessing but 'most of us' haven't caught covid yet. This'll go some way to keeping the number of deaths down a bit
Its a law, a bit like wearing seat-belts
For me the stupid thing is how long he's waited
I thought the forum had been warned to cut this out

In the beginning everyone was asked to remain indoors and only go out for essentials. As restriction ease and the infection rate has dropped more people are interacting with others outside of their normal circle. Global supply of masks were strained and website etc were profiteering from the sale of the items that were available so demanding everyone should wear masks would generate anxiety and panic buying.
Public transport, and other businesses are only now seeing an increase in footfall and so more individual/personal care precautions like masks now become relevant to control cross infection in premises visited by the general public and as SD of 2m has only just been reduced the public are also more likely to be in close proximity for over 10mins.

The bags supermarkets use for salad leaves/spinach...
Mind you, the real irritation is slugs munching my home grown leaves meaning me having to buy supermarket stuff...
