Top 15 Excuses For Getting Caught Napping in the office
15. "They told me at the blood bank this might happen."
14. "This is just a 15-minute power nap like they raved about in the last time management
course you sent me to."
13. "Whew! Guess I left the top off the liquid paper."
12. "I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new
paradigm!"
11. "This is one of the seven habits of highly effective people."
10. "I was testing the keyboard for drool resistance."
9. "I was actually doing the 'Stress Level Elimination Exercise Plan' (SLEEP) I learned at the
last mandatory seminar you made me attend."
8. "I was doing a highly specific yoga exercise to relieve work-related stress. Are you
discriminatory toward people who practice yoga?"
7. "Darn! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest
problem."
6. "The coffee machine is broken...."
5. "Someone must've put decaf in the wrong pot."
4. "Boy, that cold medicine I took last night just won't wear off!"
3. "Ah, the unique and unpredictable circadian rhythms of the workaholic!"
2. "I wasn't sleeping. I was trying to pick up a contact lens without hands."
1. "...Amin."
