Napping at Work
Friday, December 3rd, 2004 at 1:53 am
Excuses my recent Emergency Department team mate could have used during his shift: (In an 8 hour shift, I counted that he completed exactly 3 tasks… 2 EKG's and 1 patient transport)
Excuses to use if you're caught napping at work:
0. "Are the 30 seconds up already?!?"
1. "This is just a 15 minute power-nap like they raved about in the last time management course you sent me to."
2. "I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm!"
3. "This is one of the seven habits of highly defective people!"
4. "I was testing the keyboard for drool resistance."
5. "Actually doing a "Stress Level Elimination Exercise Plan" (SLEEP) I learned at the last mandatory seminar you made me attend."
6. "I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work-related stress. Are you discriminatory towards people who practice Yoga?"
7. "Darn! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem."
8. "The coffee machine is broken…."
9. "Someone must have put the decaf in the wrong pot."
10. "Ah, the unique and unpredictable circadian rhythms of the workaholic!"
11. "I wasn't sleeping. I was trying to pick up contact lens without hands."
12. "Mission compromised; I repeat that the mission has been compromised.Request to take down offending subject."
13. "Amen."
