This is the second day in a row I've overslept and woken up between 11:30am and 12:30pm. Stupid poker.

Fortunately it isn't really a big deal at work but I still feel like a degen.

If you'd like to have a future at this company I'd be really careful if I was you about this sort of thing. Sure, they'll say it's fine, but you'll be known as the guy who's always showing up late and will get a bad image which can affect later prospects. In life as in poker, image is everything.

your work is your image, not your work habits

Edit: I'm sure goofy's smart enough to figure out if this goes for his workplace or not. I'm just speaking from my experience.
