Caught Sleeping
(Best excuses if you get caught sleeping in your cubicle)




  • 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 dreamed 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 lenses 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.

Those are great.  I'll have to remember them if I ever get to feeling well enough to work!!

This is going to sound a little ODD but...


I actually fell asleep not once but TWICE while on my break periods at work!


My manager had to wake me up! It was sooooo embarassing!

Jeffrey, obviously you were working your little buns off!  By the way, how's the new position?

    • Pretty sure I've already used these two.

    I like my new job as a cart pusher! It is good to be outside most of the time! The only drawback is the customers that like to drive through the parking lot at 100 MPH, narrowly missing me and my carts!


    However, I have a sunburned face and pretty soon it will be raining a lot and turning cold. I will have to start wearing a poncho when it rains. And with winter approaching, I will have to find me something to wear that will keep me warm while standing outside. Any suggestions?

    First off, I hope you are wearing sun block on your face & arms! 


    Second, I'm not sure how cold it gets there, but what comes to mind is layers!  Like a sweatshirt over a long sleeve shirt over a t-shirt.  Then if it warms up, or you warm up, you can take off the outer stuff.


    Oh, and by the way, the thought of it turning colder "soon" sounds heavenly!  Here in Houston, we've been known to still be able to swim at Thanksgiving!!

    Shame on you, Amy!  Now remember, you can't use that one again for at least 6 months!!

    I remember when I used to fall asleep in Algebra class...I would wake up drooling on the paper, and I couldnt read any of my notes...it was not cute!
