  • How timely!?!? I just caught a member of senior managemnt sleeping at his desk. I had a question about a mutual project we are working on and I had a question for him. When I said "hey Jack", his response was "you caught me, I guess this means I'm not getting a raise next month".

    I have a similar story, some what related. I caught an ee reading the newspaper at his desk. I asked what he was doing and he replied, "I didn't get a big raise last year so I've come up with a creative way to increase my per hour rate". Turns out he was reading an industry related article that his boss asked him to read but I thought his response was creative!
  • One law firm I worked at, another supervisor and I came in early one morning and thought we had caught one of the senior partners asleep at his desk, but unfortunately he was just dead.

    It was a heck of a way to start a Monday.
  • Sometimes spending all those hours each day on this forum really tires me out and I catch myself dosing off. I then walk around the manufacturing floor to wake up.
