---We live in a state that STILL has not lifted the "indoor mask wearing mandate." Despite that, our business, and practically every other business in our small town, does not enforce wearing masks inside. You can if you want to, but they won't kick you out for it.
---Except the tax office right across the street from us, which is where our accountant works.
---She's disliked me from day 1 of our meeting, even when I used to work part time at the tax office (way before covid). So when covid came around she, and the rest of the tax workers, were all too happy to put filthy rags on their faces and parade around like they're the only ones doing things right. I've even seen them wear the masks outside as they walk to the post office. They NEVER take them off. (Typical federal workers...)
---Well, this accountant has been particularly crazy about covid, always asking US to wear masks inside OUR OWN place of business, despite the fact that I and the other workers here have all had covid back in December. We are effectively immune, and I've told her as much, but she doesn't care. She came in this morning to work on our finances with us, typical stuff, but after not wearing masks into Walmart and other big stores I decided I was NEVER going to wear another mask if I could really help it. And well, with this lady, I'd had enough of her fear.
---She stood back from my desk about 10 ft, waiting for me to put a mask on so she could "safely" walk forward. I didn't, just went about asking her some questions about the finances, and she stopped me, saying, "Would you mind if you put on a mask?"
---Bad choice of wording, in my opinion, because I said, "Yes, I would mind. I'd rather not put one on."
---I could tell she was getting upset that I wasn't caving to her demand so she said, "It's legally required as a state mandate to wear them indoors."
---I said, "Sure, but this is our own building, we won't do it if we don't want to." I almost wanted to tell her to call the cops if she felt so threatened, but I kept my mouth shut, it would have caused more problems.
---She said, "Well we can just do this over the phone, so call me when you're ready to discuss this (the finances)." And she handed me the papers (she walked forward to my desk ANYWAY despite being terrified moments before because I wasn't wearing a mask. These people are such hypocrites), and promptly left, and I'm sure she's told her other demonrat buddies at the tax office that I was "threatening her life" because I wouldn't wear a dirty rag on my face.
TLDR: Covidiot accountant demanded I wear a mask in OUR OWN building, I said no, she tried to tell me it was "against the law," (it's not), left in a huff and probably won't return in person ever again. Even if our governor rescinds the mask mandate I'll bet she'll still wear masks for the rest of her life. Oh, and she's already had the jab as well, yet still wears a mask, and demands I wear one too. These people are just asking to be mindless sheep.
Time to find a new accountant. Seriously. If someone is that blind and unthinking, how can you be certain they are doing a good job for you?
