What to Say When Caught Sleeping at Work
Some time ago I wrote a post about what to say if your boss catches you sleeping at work. It was fairly popular so I decided to add five new tactics to the list and re-post the originals.
Besides, it’s Wednesday and I wanted to have a little fun.
1. Oh, could you help me look for my contact lens?
2. I may not do much, but I’m highly employable because I don’t leave a paper trail.
3. I guess that’s what happens when you get here at 5 a.m.
Alternately, you may avoid being caught by…
4. Letting your bangs grow really long.
5. Wear sunglasses and face toward the window.
The original list follows in a count down to number 1.
5. “They told me at the Blood Bank this might happen.”
4. “This is just a 15 minute power nap they raved about in the time management course you sent me to.”
3.”Whew! Guess I left the top off the Whiteout. You probably got here just in time.”
2.”Did you ever notice the sound coming out of these keyboards when you put your ear down real close?”
1. And the NUMBER ONE best thing to say if you get caught sleeping at your desk…
Raise your head slowly and say,” …In Jesus’ name,Amen.”
