I was cleaning out my desk and came across the best excuses if you get caught sleeping at your cubicle - thought I'd share some of the better ones and you can add to the list:

> They told me at the blood bank this might happen...

> I wasn't sleeping, I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm...

>Someone must of put decaf in the wrong pot...

>This is one of the seven habits of highly effective people...

    Just say Amen and tell your boss you were praying.

    There's always the classic, "I was praying..."

    nowadays they can't do anything if it involves religion LOL

    I was communicating telepathically with the Dalai Lama. He said you work too hard.

    ha!!

    I like the blood donor one..

    My ex coworker told me that one time our boss (ex boss) walked in on her with her head down on her desk. She was zonked out.

    My boss freaked out and went to get our DIRECTOR (her boss) because she thought my coworker was DEAD. So the director comes and shakes her (haha) and coworker wakes up to both her boss and the director looking at her. :laugh: Ooooh so funny!

    Tell them you accidentially took the "night time formula" of allergy/cold medicine. Then cough or fake a sneeze to make it realistic. May even send you home for the day so you can sleep in your bed. lol
