You can probably substitute getting caught TTing?
TEN BEST THINGS TO SAY IF YOU GET CAUGHT SLEEPING AT YOUR DESK.

10. "They told me at the blood bank this might happen."

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

8. "Whew! Guess I left the top off the White-Out. You probably got
here just in time!"

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

6. "I was testing my keyboard for drool resistance."

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

4. "Darn! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a
solution to our biggest problem."

3. "The coffee machine is broken..."

2. "Someone must've put decaf in the wrong pot..."


And the #1 best thing to say if you get caught sleeping at work...


1. ".....in Jesus' name. Amen."

Boy, I need some sleep!
Glad you stopped here. I worked late last night and I'm having trouble staying awake. Could I have the rest of the day off?

from a manager at our publishing co.
In the Birmingham Sunday Mercury (7th Jan 2001)

Worker dead at desk for 5 days

Bosses of a publishing firm are trying to work out why no one noticed
that one of their employees had been sitting dead at his desk for FIVE DAYS
before anyone asked if he was feeling okay.

George Turklebaum, 51, who had been employed as a proof-reader at a
New York firm for 30 years, had a heart attack in the open-plan office he
shared with 23 other workers. He quietly passed away on Monday, but nobody
noticed until Saturday morning when an office cleaner asked why he was still
working during the weekend.
His boss Elliot Wachiaski said "George was always the first guy in
each morning and the last to leave at night, so no one found it unusual that
he was in the same position all that time and didn't say anything. He was
always absorbed in his work and kept much to himself."

A post mortem examination revealed that he had been dead for five days
after suffering a coronary. Ironically, George was proofreading
manuscripts of medical textbooks when he died.
...You may want to give your co-workers a nudge occasionally.
