BEST EXCUSES IF YOU GET CAUGHT
SLEEPING IN YOUR OFFICE OR CUBICLE

They told me at the blood bank this might happen.

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

I was working smarter - not harder.

Whew! I must've 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.

I'm actually doing a Stress Level Elimination Exercise
Plan (SLEEP) I learned at the last mandatory seminar
you made me 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.  Do you discriminate against 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 broken....

Someone must've put decaf in the wrong pot.

Boy, that cold medicine I took last night just won't wear off.

Ah, the unique and unpredictable circadian rhythms of the
workaholic!

I wasn't sleeping. I was trying to pick up contact lens without
hands.

The mail courier flipped out and pulled a gun so I was
playing dead to avoid getting shot.

Geez, I thought you (the boss) were gone for the day.
