Or because s/he has a cold and does not want to infect anyone.

Don't rule out plastic surgery. Maybe she got some fat injected to her cheeks/chin.

i'm wearing a mask today, but it's because i went to the hospital 2 days ago for a stomach virus and my boss wouldn't give me time off, so i'm hopingthe mask will encourage him. maybe if i take it off halfway through the day he'll tell me to go home for fear of infecting everyone?

Just get a can of soup and pretend to "vomit" it in the hallway. Then, walk away down the hall. It might be worth it to get a can of Campbell's Minestrone Soup; I think it naturally smells like vomit! Plus, you have the chunks, which are visually appalling.

You are sick, refreshingly so.

Masks are pretty commonly used here in Asia anyway from anything to preventing smog inhalation to preventing the spread of disease.

I wore a mask to my first hagwon in Korea for a few days because I had accidentally tripped while on a school hiking trip and scraped my face pretty bad.

Seriously...I owe many cans of that soup to aid me in my school-skipping adventures.
