Sleeping at work

You're never gonna hit 10k by the end of December if you waste all your perfectly good posting time sleeping.

Hmmm... I hadn't thought of this. I will have to factor this in lol

Here's an idea that I stole from somewhere, but I can't remember where. You need to have a room with a door that opens in. I did this in a stock room at my old job.

Lie down on the floor with your feet touching the door. Dump out a box of paper clips in front of your head. If someone comes in, the door will wake you (worked especially well for me b/c the door had a loud keypad lock) and you just hop to your knees and begin picking up the paperclips.

go sleep in the toilets, sitting on the closed toilet seat, leaning against the wall.

I work in a small office and take naps occasionally. Best bet is in your chair. If you get caught once lay off it for awhile, but the first time would be shrugged off with a lame excuse if your not caught again.

It would be best if you avoided napping at all when the owners are there.

under the desk, using knit cap as pillow.
wear dark clothing.
strategically situate chair and waste basket to hide
head and provide camoflauge.

works for me.
amazingly, no one has ever seen me,
although i don't make a habit of it,
only on occasions where i'm plumb
exhausted.

most people just take a cursory glance
into the cubicle to see if you're there.

sleeping in the chair would be bad
because someone would inevitably come
and try to talk to you and discover you.

Why not just go out to your car? Thats what I do.


I'm also a "coordinator" for my company and ofton have stretches where I have no work for days. After a few months of extreme boredom I ran over to the Mervyns down the street and bought me a nice little pillow for 9.99. Now everyday from 11:00 to 12:15 I pull my car to the top of the parking structure, turn on some talk radio and pass out for an hour. It really helps, I'm not sure if I could go back to a workday without a nap.

Ah, the ennui of everyday life! The petty boredoms and thwarted dreams! Morrissey, as always, has the answer:


Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I'm tired and I
I want to go to bed

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Don't try to wake me in the morning
'Cause I will be gone
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore

Sing to me
Sing to me
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore

Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I really want to go

There is another world
There is a better world
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well ...

Bye bye
Bye bye
Bye ...


Edit: Why don't you get a job in a bed shop?

That would be pretty sweet actually, plus I'd get a discount on beds I imagine so I could always be flossing a hot new bed piece.

If you can find good hiding spots, I'd say go for it. After my freshman year of college, I had a summer job as a janitor at an elementary school. It was a [censored] job but I worked with 4 of my buddies, so that passed the time. We hid and found places to sleep all the time, so I was napping about 2-3 hours of the day. Just don't get caught as you'd probably get fired.
