    No but worked with a manager who took a nap in an important meeting once. Resorted to knocking out some loud zzzzzz's as well.

    I said car park, not bike shed. Try taking the car to work instead of the bike.

    I worked with a guy once who was quite proud to admit he would have an hours kip in the toilet after having hung his jacket on his chair.

    I agree, I operate so much better after a little snooze.

    Have worked with quite a few contractors who would head to their cars at lunchtime for a kip. Never done that even last year when I was finding myself so knackered by the afternoon that I was ready to drop. Convinced myself for a while it was some horrific cancer but after a trip to the docs, it turned out I had Glandular Fever

    I remember the disabled toilet at JP MOrgan Aldermanbury being closed due to "improper use". I always wondered what that meant. Sex? Drugs? Both?

    One place had a first aid room with a bed, another we but a cot up in the server room, although if you feel asleep for too long you'd get hypothermia from the AC
