Super tangent time!
The wild fire smoke filled the plant I work at until Friday night. They did not offer any sort of face coverings. One of the guys found a stash of N95’s that the guys at the paint booth used, so we had at least something.
I went to the hardware store the next day and got some 3M Aura 9205+ N95 masks. I work 8-12 hours on the shop floor, and wanted to have at least something that might help. Bought a 20 pack, offered them to everyone in my department. A couple people took some, but no one wore them. I wanted to make sure that the team at least had the opportunity to wear PPE. The smoke in the plant was way worse than it was outside.
They looked at me as if I were some paranoid nut. My lungs felt fine all night. I took the mask off a couple of times to have some water, and it was crazy how bad it smelled in the plant. With the mask on, it was just another Thursday night.
Fuckin’ libtards though, right? Got ‘em! Whatev, I felt quite comfortable knowing I did at least something to protect myself.
Saw N95, thought Nokia.
