Asleep At The Desk

If you get caught sleeping on the job, here's some quick excuses!

- It's okay...

- I'm still billing the client.

- They told me at the blood bank this might happen.

- This is just a 15 minute power-nap like they raved about in the last time-management course you sent me to.

- I was working smarter, not harder.

- Whew! Guess I left the top off the liquid paper

- I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm!

- This is one of the seven habits of highly effective people !

- I was testing the keyboard for drool resistance

- I'm in the management training program

- Actually doing a "Stress Level Elimination Exercise Plan" (SLEEP) you learned at the last mandatory seminar your boss made you attend.

- This is in exchange for the six hours last night when I dreamt about work!

- I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work-related stress. Are you discriminatory towards people who practice Yoga?

- Damn! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem.

- The coffee machine is broke....

- Someone must've put decaf in the wrong pot.

- Boy, that cold medicine I took last night just won't wear off!

- It worked well for Reagan, didn't it?

- I was cross-training for telecommuting.

- Ah, the unique and unpredictable circadian rhythms of the workaholic!

- Wasn't sleeping. Was trying to pick up contact lens without hands.

- The mailman flipped out and took out a gun so I was playing dead to avoid getting shot.

- I thought you(boss) were gone for the day.
