    He's one of the image-conscious ones clearly. Needs to 'show' how professional he is through the day. I'd much rather take my power nap/log on to facebook x times a day if thats what works best for me.

      You know professional pilots are allowed to have power-naps, as long as the other pilot stays awake.

      Truthism.

Outrageous but no one dare say anything in case she starts crying and we get done for racism.
        Sat beside a bobess at a previous client co who did the same thing, also spent most of the day on the phone to her family. though no sign of snoozing.

            Nope. Quits the office at 5:30 p.m.
            Get's in at 9:30 a.m.

            Still, seems the hours are killing him.

              That us real contractors couldn't get away with it (well, at least not the White ones, as has already been pointed out... )

                Do the naps coincide with you engaging him in conversation?

                    when I worked in China it was perfectly acceptable to put your head down on the desk and have a kip.

                    ...as was hacking up by the lifts and spitting it in the bin.
