44. I wore one to work a few weeks ago, but my boss asked me to switch it out

He shares my views about Trump, but he knows some other people in the office are Trump supporters, and it was the day Trump was diagnosed with COVID and he didn't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable. So he offered me an N95 mask, which I was happy to accept. He probably wouldn't have said anything if I hadn't apologized for wearing a partisan mask to work (it was the only one I could find that day).
