It's good to see that the bank was taking the six foot rule and mask policy seriously. Unfortunately, not having been out in public since the entire thing has begun, I wasn't properly observing the six foot rule and had to be informed to back up.
Of course, I then had to explain my boyfriend was there because I am hard-of-hearing and it is difficult for me to sometimes understand what people are saying when I cannot read their lips. Yes, lip reading is something upon which I depend, and my co-workers are certainly mad that I have to keep having them repeat what they're saying.
Anywho, I shan't be repeating the event anytime soon. It annoyed me. I prefer simply going back and forth between work and home. The boyfriend does all the public stuff, he's the extrovert.
I finally went four years ago and got hearing aids. It dawned on me that I wear glasses to see better so wearing hearing aids to hear better makes sense. Course it took me about a decade to come to that conclusion. The audiologist said that's typical...7-10 years before seeking help.
I'm your huckleberry.
