"sleeping on the job"
I needed this today--
Things To Say If You Get Caught Sleeping At Your Desk :
15. "They told me at the blood bank this might happen."
14. "This is just a 15 minute power-nap like they raved about in the last time management course you sent me to."
13. "Whew! Guess I left the top off the liquid paper"
12. "I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm!"
11. "This is one of the seven habits of highly effective people!"
10. "I was testing the keyboard for drool resistance"
9. "Actually I'm doing a "Stress Level Elimination Exercise Plan" (SLEEP) I learned it at the last mandatory seminar you made me attend.
8. "I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work related stress."
7. "Darn! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem."
6. "The coffee machine is broken...."
5. "Someone must've put decaf in the wrong pot."
4. "Boy, that cold medicine I took last night just won't wear off!"
3. "Ah, the unique and unpredictable circadian rhythms of the workaholic!"
2. "I wasn't sleeping, I was trying to pick up contact lens without hands."
and #1, The Best Thing To Say If You Get Caught Sleeping At Your Desk: "Amen"

If you pull any of that stuff on the link, I hope that your resume is polished and ready to go. You will need it sooner than expected!

Hannah- my boss' wife (I think you know who that is) says that any girl with long hair can get away with sleeping at work. She says all you have to do is lean forward a little bit and your hair will cover your face from the side view. According to her, you will hear the boss coming long before he/she gets to where he/she can see your face. She says that she has gotten away with it multiple times and has encouraged me to try it! How funny is that?
Anyway, if they ever let me go back to work, I will have to try #1 on your list... I think they will buy that one! (and even if didn't, imagine how silly he would feel taking that complaint to his superiors!) Oh... the blessings of working at a church are good!
Thanks for the list... I needed a good laugh today.
I'm glad you mentioned circadian rhythms. That's perhaps the only thing I remember from freshman psych. By the way, my office in Brooklyn as a zero tolerance policy on sleeping at work. Possibly first offense termination.
As a result of your SLEEP plan, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Saturday...um kay?
You haven't posted in a couple of days. Must be asleep. Have a great day!
