Maybe this isn’t a problem, but rather an annoyance. And in the grand scheme of the COVID-era, it’s downright ridiculous.
At my day job, I wear a headset to talk on the phone.
I wear eyeglasses, too, but I’ve never developed the habit of wearing them all the time. On and off, depending on what I’m doing. Yes, I have bifocals. Can’t see the computer screen with either “setting”. Plus I have a habit of wearing my glasses on top of my head, too.
Since COVID, I also wear a face mask when not sitting in my cubicle.
Three things on my head.
So when I get up to speak to my manager or use the restroom or refill my water container, I need to put on my mask. Sometimes, though, I put on my glasses instead. Or my headset. Because the brain is thinking, “your head needs something on it” and I grab the first thing at hand. I laugh about putting on my mask to read papers. Or my glasses to answer the phone. Or, and I did this just yesterday) my phone rang, so I put on my mask.
I am not saying I run around without my mask. I always catch myself before leaving my workspace.
Maybe old age is setting in.
