Try a neti pot or nasal irrigation system. I use the Sinucleanse, a fairly inexpensive kit which is available at stores like Walgreen, CVS, Riteaid, etc. Basically, it allows you to flush your sinuses with warm saltwater (salt packets come with the system or can be bought separately, but you can also make your own solution at home). It takes some trial and error to learn how to flush your sinuses, but you'll probably be amazed at the amount of gunk (mucus) that you get out, even when you aren't suffering from a cold or flu. It's totally natural and isn't painful, just a little awkward and messy - you'll need to bend over a sink during the process.

My doctors suggestion for removing stuffy nose of my infant child,
Salt water drops up the nose, sniff and watch out for instant relief. It sucks but it works. Be prepared to cough

You can keep a jar of the vicks cream at your desk so you can smell it. That way you don't have to put it on your skin. I hate the way it feels, but when I get a stuffy nose I will just smell it out of the jar.

An allergy is an abnormal reaction to ordinarily harmless substance or substances. These sensitizing substances, called allergens, may be inhaled, swallowed or come into contact with the skin. When an allergen is absorbed into the body it triggers white blood cells to produce IgE antibodies. http://www.herbmark.com/Allergies_a7.html

Hot showers or hot steam in the bathroom help or use a product called Mucinex. Works great

they have vapor inhalers...or you could try sniffing horseradish or tabasco sauce (i doubt you have those at your work desk though...)
