The cold from hell is good to go.

No, seriously, GO. Jeez. I blew my nose so many times between 12:00 and 6:00 I had a Very Dramatic nosebleed just as I was about to clock out. If I could get the stupid manager to change the filters on the vents it would really, really help.

*This is what my dad calls the plastic grocery bag employed to segregate tissues from the communal trash. Also portable!
**It doesn't clear my sinuses, but it does make me very aware of them.
***To moisturize the inside of the nose.
****To moisturize the outside of the nose.

My colds are, obviously, a bit of a process.
