Almost every time we have snow there will be forecasts, people hit the grocery for basics (booze is a basic, right?), schools close ... but the government stays open. Since most places follow the government, that means that most places open and anyone who can't work from home struggles in through the snow (the subway shuts down when it snows). Usually they'll arrive in time to take off their coat, start up their computer, and read the notice that their office is closing. Which means just about everyone hits the streets and public transit at the same time.
That evening and through the next day there will be endless discussions of whether they shouldn't have even tried to open. And, usually, the discussions end before the next snow, when the whole cycle starts over again.
I thought it was chronic sinusitis, but why am I coughing so much?
Consuela, post-nasal drip. Sometimes it just doesn't drain out your nose.
OTOH, I feel kind of exhausted. I thought it was chronic sinusitis, but why am I coughing so much?
This is me. Have you tried a nasal spray? It's helping me a little, although I hate nasal sprays in general. It's prescription: Astepro.

Yeah, but this is pretty deep coughing. I dunno.
I think I'm going to leave, and hit Walgreens for my prescription.
but the government stays open.
I work for gov't and we are always the last to close. The reason is purely financial. If they tell us to stay home, we all get our full day's pay, no penalties to our PTO. If we opt not to go in, or are snowed in, we have to use a vacation day. There have been times when even the military keeps people home and we've had to trudge into work.
Whuhuh. I'm suggesting solutions to a problem I don't understand. I mean, I understand the problem, but I don't understand what I'm suggesting.
Everyone seems to like it, though! So that's a win.
I don't understand what I'm suggesting.
Where you suggesting switching to a second-generation flibbity-gidget?

MAYBE.
Thank god they've moved on to someone else's suggestion I don't understand. However, this meeting is 35 minutes over, and I haven't eaten lunch yet because there's none at home, and I'm going to kill someone soon.

You know, and this goes back to your reacent asscaps outburst, I love your way with -- well, they're not actually words, are they? Syllables, I suppose.
