if only I could chew gum at work.

[rhyme]

The downside is that today, instead of nausea, my ears are totally plugged. As in, for a few hours this morning, I couldn't hear anything out of one of them.

The upside is that I've figured out the probable cause. Vog. Someone told me the same thing happens to them, and it explains why it's so much worse at work than at home, when the distance between point a and b is....really, really short. Home's at higher elevation.

But now at least I can curse the weather.
