I know it is Friday but he has fallen asleep again. It's flippin hilarious. He's from the same agent as myself which makes me chuckle.

What a legend.

Don't these people drink coffee? Or maybe he doesn't realise he's been dozing, although that's hard to believe.

The best ones are the luxo offices with proper separate toilet 'rooms' rather than partitioned cubicles, so you have no idea what's going on outside. Ideal for a powernap !

Just discovered that this fella is from the same agency as myself, who I have quite a strong relationship with. He's probabaly double what I'm on! Hopefully they find out and I get his role. And rate. Wishful thinking.

A friend has a story of him and a colleague being the only 2 people at a training course, both being on the bevvy the night before and both falling asleep in the course.

The instructor just carried on.

I never fall asleep in meetings

Like anyone would notice if you did!! Besides, what organisations allow the janny to attend meetings anyway unless a pipe bursts and they need you to mop it up?

[Mason Boyne]

I never fall asleep in meetings and never need a "power nap" in the afternoon, I left all that crap behind at kindergarten.

Plenty of time for sleeping when you're dead.

It also gives me the opportunity of asking how do you stop yourself from dozing in hot, stuffy meetings?

Play Bullsh1t bingo that should do it

fell asleep in a 3 hour Cisco presentation luckily I was the only one from my company there.

God they made network QOS boring!

Poor German presenter realised he had lost me when I started snoring. New Kids don't help.

Can't be a proper contractor then.

The experienced contractor will scope out the bogs on day one to find the best sleeping spots.

Too right. If you went to the loo's in the gym section next to the canteen mid afternoon you couldn't get to sleep for the sound of snoring from the other cubibles!! Ignorant b'stards.

I did Jury Service a few years back and on the day we announced our verdict the (scouse) defendant turned up late (had been on the p1ss) and then proceeded to fall asleep in the dock. The judge didn't look kindly on events when he sent the perp down

[gingerjedi]

I only ever sleep in the bogs.

My last permie place used to have long 'results' meetings in the local cinema. Three hours long, completely uninteresting, dead warm in there, comfy chairs = nightmare staying awake !!!!

[jmo21]

He did it once when we were at a seminar, I had to keep elbowing him to wake up but he'd wake with a jolt so everyone knew he'd fallen asleep

My old permie manager did that an early .Net release seminar at Microsoft in Reading years ago. Our company was one of a number brought in as "partners" for the launch or some such nonsense.

As his boss was also there, he got his ass handed to him.

always worth setting the alarm on your phone, don't want to wake up in a dark empty car park at midnight

...having missed all the dogging!
