^. OP, you should be freaked out with those without them on that may actually be sick.

I wear them on flights b/c I have a peanut allergy and I can’t stop people around me from eating what they want. My masks have cute kawaii emojis on them so they look friendly at least haha

Yes, they are very effective both ways. They contain the sputum that is aerosolized, especially when coughing or sneezing. There is still a chance of transmission via physical means though that is much less likely with any respiratory illness. .

^ wrong. They are pretty effective

Hello there! I currently work in billing at a medical office. I got my Bachelors in Psychology a few years ago but I couldn’t find a position that seemed like a good option for me that was well paying and fulfilling. I tried working as a tech at an Applied Behavior Analysis clinic but it wasn’t a good fit. I’m hesitant to try case management or social work because I worry I won’t like it but I want to use my degree in Psychology. Does anyone have any ideas for me?

I have to travel to my client every week and the client’s office is attached to a very nice hotel that’s $250 per night. There’s a hotel right across the street that’s $150 per night.. it’s alright, but not as great. Should I be mindful about how much I’m spending or should I blow up the budget until someone says something?
