Dear Rachel Carter,
My boss has just bought these new virtual headsets that are supposed to make our work here in the "office" a lot easier. It's been working really well, and I haven't noticed any problems with the headset itself. However, I've noticed that when I put on my headset, time really seems like it is elapsing. For example, about 4 days ago I had put on my headset at about 2:00 pm and used it for my assignment that my boss had given me at work. I was doing my work for about 30min; but I when I took off my headset I noticed that the clock on my work desk said that it was 6:00pm. Now I know the old saying that says "time flies when your having fun", but I can assure you that I was not working on that assignment for 4 hours! This has become a concern because just yesterday, these kids I "met" showed me this news report stating that the headsets were dangerous and should not be used anymore. Then it said that the news was a scam and that I shouldn't worry about it. I don't know who or what to believe anymore. Should I still use my headset, or get rid of it for good? Please give me some advice.

Dear The concerned employee,
I have noticed that a lot of people are starting to write to me with problems they are having with their headsets and I tell every single one of them the same thing, STOP USING THE HEADSETS! I saw the news report that you say those kids showed you and to give you my opinion, I don't think the report was a scam. My very own brother was also having the same problem you are having. He's be on that headset for about 3 hours, but when I ask him about it he starts getting mad because he feels like I'm over exaggerating because he thinks he's only been on for 40-45min. If I were you, I would stop using the headset and I would get your boss and fellow co-workers to stop using them too. I have a bad feeling about those things and I feel that they are way to dangerous and shouldn't be messed around with.
