Do you ever sleep at work?

Question

does it get your heart going when you wakeup to someone walking around...possibly your boss

Answer 1

I wish...

Answer 2

I am my own boss...so...yea

Answer 3

No, I can't sleep sitting up. I have to be laying down flat to sleep. There's not much of that going on at work. And at Home Depot I'm on my feet my whole shift, so no chance there either.

Answer 4

I have, but I had to be VERY careful!

The rule book says that employees caught sleeping on duty will be discharged.  But when my crew went to beans (lunch) on my midnight job, I would "tie down" my locomotive and isolate it, and while they were all eating, I would have a very light nap in my locomotive.

I was aware of the possibility of an officer lurking around checking up on us to see if we have secured our train before we went to beans, so with me in my seat turned around and me leaning back with my feet on the back window protector bar (we used SW-1500 locomotives on the "old Colton Job"), I was an obvious candidate to be checked out!  So I always wore sun glasses at night when I sat back.

One night, I did not even feel a thing as someone climbed up on my back step and opened the back door, which immeidately woke me up!  The "suit" looked right into my sunglasses as I asked him rather abruptly, "How's it going?"

He laughed at me with a knowing grimace, but he could not see me with my eyes closed through my sun glasses!

I remember a popular story from the other engineers about one engineer who was woke up from a snooze on his locomotive, and he immediately shouted "Amen!"  They tried to fire him but he adamantly claimed that he had been praying and did not want to be interrupted in his prayer!  They let him go with a warning!

i sleep in school all the time

Answer 13

I can't sleep.  I work in a pharmacy.  My boss sees me the whole shift.  Plus, that's just wrong.  Go to bed earlier or see the doctor about your sleeping problems if you are tired during the day.

No, that would be the same as stealing. I couldn't forgive myself.

Not at work because I work for a major corperation. But I go to school before I come to work and I'm always drifting off in class. Good thing the girl next to me pokes me with a pen.  

Answer 18

no, i sleep at school

Answer 19

I think everyone at one time or another has fallen asleep at work; I sure have. One place was so monotonous I would feel my head start to go down and then the person sitting next to me would wake me up quietly so I wouldn't get in trouble they were all so cool and all of us looked out for each other.

Answer 20

I may dose off ever so often.

I only realize that when my co-workers start to giggle at me cause I'm sleeping with my mouth wide open & dribbling on myself =(

If the manager is passing by, they wake me up =)
