Shaving cuts and uncontrollable bleeding

I cut myself shaving this morning in a tiny little nick just below my nostril. As a result, it's been bleeding for almost 3 hours now. I can't keep a little piece of tissue paper stuck there all the time because, well, I'm at work and need to talk to people like my boss without looking stupid.

I'm either going to bleed to death (very slowly), or someone can tell me a solution. Thanks in advance, unless I'm dead by the time you read this, in which case thanks for nothin'.

Tampon in the nose, just tape it down to maintain contact.

This doesn't always work but sometimes I can put some lotion on the cut and it helps slow/stop the bleeding.

Tourniquet around the neck would work too.

Vaseline. It's what fighters use.

I don't have any lotion, vaseline, or tampons here at the office. But I think it may be stopped or stopping. I'm going to live!
