My NYE consisted of working 12+ hours, coming home, eating something, and falling asleep. Woo hoo! We've been told by management that we are not allowed to refuse service to people not wearing a mask. Our work areas don't allow for six foot distancing from each other, either, particularly when we're sorting parcels out to the routes, sometimes 5-6 of us circling around one machine to scan, then run them over to the appropriate hampers.
I've got lanyards for my masks, so it lets me hang it around my neck when I'm in the break room. I tighten them, and the condensation doesn't float up to my glasses. I actually wear a gaiter and a mask, doubling up. Mask wearing outside for me doesn't fog my glasses, must be the style of mask I have? I'm outside putting up the trays of letters for the different routes, using lots of energy when I do this, as our station has the racks for the routes outside the building.
Happy New Year everyone. 2020 was awful in many ways, but there was some good in there, too.

Fortunately here we don't see much of that. I can't remember the last time I saw someone without a mask indoors, and I would say over 90% wear the mask properly. It's different inside restaurants of course, but I haven't eaten indoors in months.
The bigger mask challenge is when outdoors for a walk. We're supposed to wear masks then too, but my glasses fog up and that becomes a hazard as well. I was out walking the dog and stepped on a rock I couldn't see, twisted my ankle, and fell. So I wear the mask around my chin until I see someone approaching, and then I raise it and take off my glasses. I've tried the anti-fog products and they are effective when it's fairly warm out, but when it is cold they don't work. I'm all ears if someone can recommend a product they like.
Hope everyone has a safe New Years Eve tonight. Although I know 2021 will be much like 2020 for at least 6-9 months, I'm still looking forward to putting 2020 behind us.
