Excuses when caught falling asleep at work … don’t actually try to use these!
- ‘They told me at the blood bank this might happen.’
- ‘This is just a 15 minute power-nap like they raved about in the last time management course you sent me to.’
- ‘Whew! Guess I 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’
- ‘Actually I was doing a ‘Stress Level Elimination Exercise Plan”(SLEEP) I learned at the last mandatory seminar you made me attend.’
- ‘I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work-related stress. Are you discriminatory towards people who practice Yoga?’
- ‘Darn! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem.’
- ‘The coffee machine is broke….’
- ‘Someone must have 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 my contact lens without using my hands.’
- ‘I was just reminiscing on when I was a kid and would wish on my birthday cake that I could work here.’
