Nods off? if my office is any indication, fully half of the working population is napping on a daily basis after 3pm.

The other three are Farking.

I would like to point out Cosmic_Music that there are highly motivated young go getters like myself out there who both nap, Fark and read novels in the toilet.

/Trifecta of getting through Monday

I was 2 hours late and I'm still drunk. This sucks.

zzzzzzzz.... What???? NO, I am not sleeping!!

Wha? I never fall assle...

Some of us are standing in line at the Unemployment office, you jerks!

I have never falzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I just woke up and saw this thread here with 3 of my co-workers standing around laughing at me. Did I miss something? I must have nodded off.

Been there, done that!

Oh, no Mr. Weed, I wasn't sleeping...there was a bug in my eye and I was trying to suffocate him with my eyelids.

/Peter Griffin.

Im to busy writing these damn TPS reports to nod off

Not work, but the Train man, I cant stay awake on the damn train. Its either the gentle rocking of the train, or Dan Browns writing style.

Previous employer encouraged this - sort of. 1 Hour lunches, 1/2 of which was used by many for nappy time.

/still nodded off later in the afternoon anyway

I have a futon in my office. If I'm tired in the afternoon I put up my "do not disturb" sign and take a nap. My boss does the same thing.

One in four nods off at work?

Well, it's nice to know that discrimination against nods in emplyment is on the decline. Still... those poor three in four nods stuck at home. Who will think of the nodlings?

*honk*

One in four also whack off at work.

Huh? What!? Oh....(sigh) zZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz

Hopefully this survey does not include Taxi, Bus and Semi Drivers.

Oh yeah - all the time! Oh wait... it says "nods" off... Nevermind.

So far it's 3 in 13 nods off when Farking.

The only reason we sleep is because you give us nothing to do. Damn government jobs who encourage slacking. Fark you! If I wanted to do nothing I'd stay at home and sleep in a bed, which is much better than this cocksucker of a desk.

I last about 25.46 minutes in a meeting. After that, I am out like a light. It sucks, I have to pull the hand covering eyes while leaning on table manuever.

I used to go down to my car and powernap. That was usually the last resort after waking up to that BREEEEERPPPPPRPEPPPBEEEEEE noise of my face on my keyboard.

Sleeping at Work? Why I never!
Anyways,
Anyone hear anything about the WMD they supposedly found?

I used to be a car salesman, and when I got tired I would crawl into the back of minivans on the showroom floor, lock the doors and go to sleep. Other times we would just sit in the back of the minivans and watch dvds.

Naps are the key to happiness. If the workplace allowed this productivity and morale would skyrocket!

all i can do is fark, no napping. I even have a couch behind me. Torture

/work on trading floor.

I have a sign on my office that says I'm sleeping. Of course, sometimes I am stuck here late and just too damn tired to go home when I have to be back early the next morning.

So what's the rule on work fapping? Big no no? Or just something we don't talk about?

There is a company in Bristol/Southington, CT called Yarde Metals. They ENCOURAGE their employees to take naps and provide a "nap room" for them. A couple of years ago, they established "Yarde Nap Day", had everyone come to work in their PJ's, management grilled burgers and hot dogs, etc. Sounds like my kind of place....

Anyone here ever head off to the can for a quick constitutional and end up waking up 45 minutes later, praying that nobody noticed you were gone all that time?



/raises hand

If I have, I've never noticed. I do catch myself starting to driffff

saasdfk'qe0-324p540-q-rig0apko

Irish worst, Dutch best. Could this be yet another argument against alcohol and FOR pot?

Guy I used to work with would do one of two things:

1) because he had his back to the cubicle "door", he would put the phone to his ear and zonk out pretending to be talking to someone
2) would fall asleep on the shiatter. not for 10 minutes, we're talking 2+ hours at a time. too bad he snored...

So this means that if you're in an office with three other people, and none of them are asleep, then you're currently dreaming.

"Asleep at the switch? I wasn't asleep! I was drunk!"

i actually wrote a proposal for siesta-time at my old job -- naptime could be awarded to good performers as an incentive. they could also be fanned with olive branches and fed grapes by a scantily-clad attractive person of a gender of their choosing.

...in other news, the Dutch are a bunch of lying bastards.


/was asleep when I read this article

I'll confess to wacking at work. I've shot a few ropes into the toilet in my office.

1 in 3 of those nodding off is due to repeat posts at Fark.

Saturday - Calgary, after a conference & eight nights of heavy beer drinking.

Sunday - flight time to UK

Monday (today)- At work before 08:00, until after 17:30.

Now - Farking.

/Quit yer whining, kids.

I used to live about 5 minutes from my job...I would go home and power nap during hangovers. The worst feeling was waking up and seeing it was dark out. I went in expecting a dressing or a firing but found out since I left my PC on and left my jacket there no one even knew just thought I was away from my desk.

/still leaves PC on and jacket perm. at desk
.

How could you fall asleep if you know about Fark? 1 in 4 workers are obviously deprived.

Interestingly, though, some of those people appear to fall asleep in the toilet? How can you fall asleep sitting up? Don't things get kinda crusty?

George Costanza should try to sell a line of desks in Ireland. 40% of the market would buy.

Some dude who worked around here a while back would go to sleep underneath his desk. He would literally crawl under his desk, curl up, and go to sleep. One day the department heads were giving a tour and his feet were sticking out of his cubicle. He didn't come back.

This was standard procedure for folks in TI/Japan. Take a short 30 min powernap after lunch and you're good to go..and less likely to committ suicide....

I fell asleep on the work crapper a couple years back for about 15-20 minutes. I was REALLY hungover that day.

I wish one in four of my coworkers would just fark off.
/I have a particular one in mind

ShootTheMoon

That's great...

bigtimework...

that was a door I could have left shut. The only cure is to hear about some Farkettes who have done that.

I have an office with a door, but my british co-workers tend to just throw the door open without even a clearing of the throat or a knock so it's impossible. I have slept at a few other jobs after a long weekend of partying or up late gaming, but not much these days.

What I want to know is who is farking at work... not this fark, the real thing (to be polite). I have only seen it once, at a Best Buy of all places and only heard of it at one other job besides that (State Farm Corp HQ, Executive Tower). Besides the fact that farking your coworkers is very bad policy at for any and every job, how does one clean up properly afterwards and remain comfortable for the rest of the day without a quick wash or shower? The odor... sex does leave the air wafting with all kinds of lovely and not so lovely scents... you think someone would notice. If nothing else, the 'I just got laid and you didn't' grin of satisfaction on your face in your next staff meeting would certainly clue some folks in.

Huh??!?!? What?!?!?!

Sorry I was nodding off...


Your were saying?!?!?!

I work in a radio station that's run 24/7.
When DON'T I find someone sleeping?

My office literally faces a couch (I have no idea why the office manager put it there, it's just to torture me I think). There are many days I wish to go and curl up on it and forget this job. :(

Does masturbation at work count as "nodding off?" Just thinking of all those truck drivers...

huh?

Try working the graveyard. If you think it's hard staying awake on a regular 9-5 shift, think again. I work in an open office where people regularly take 'combat' naps. It's the only way.

GNNR

Well, this one time in the meatfreezer...

/lying

I had two coworkers that got caught farking in a meeting room. He was married and she was fugly, so I felt sad for him. They both were asked to leave immediately.

I could never do anything like that at work. I'd get a hotel room at lunch and fark anybody there though.

My co-workers noxious farts would put me to sleep. Hence why he was given his own office far, far, far away from the rest of us when we moved into our new digs.

/farting at work is not cool

This is awesome, now when my boss gets on me about sleeping at work I can claim discrimination since I'm Irish.

/genetically lazy

the_pgoat, who do you think you are, Donald Trump?

I used to do this all the time until I was diagnosed as type I diabetic and went on insulin a year ago. Practically hasn't happened since.

Sleeping, that is.

Folks, if you're ever watching TV late at night and you see the show cut to a commercial, and there's no commercial, it is likely that the master control guy is nodding off.

This has happened to me once during Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous (at around one a.m.; I was covering someone else's shift). It happened one other time because I was on the can.

Zzzzz....

Sleeping at work is great
Having a door with a lock and a comfy chair make it too easy

Speaking of meatcoolers... once when I worked at Little Ceasars I was on the late shift, tuesday as I recall. Not a busy night. Two hot girls (three total) and two guys counting myself. It became strip poker night in back. I actually took an order at the counter in just my shoes and the apron... we were drinking a bit. A girl did get her bra dunked and frozen... no sex (though some heavy petting after work did take place, hehe).

i just take a nap on the john. if my boss asks where i was, i always say "stomach troubles"

Just woke up from my post-lunch nap. I feel like a million bucks. Now I just need a good lay and I'll be just dandy...

How long has the 40 hour work week been a standard? Probably 50+ years, right? And in those 50 years, we've managed to develop hardware and software that has exponentially increased our productivity, right? SO WHY ARE WE STILL WORKING 40 HOUR WEEKS?

40 hours? Yeah right... How many people here actually only work 40 hours in a week?

Being a uni student, if I'm ever in need of a nap, I just take a trip to the 'Planets, Stars and Galaxies' lecture. There's this one old lecturer who has one of the rare 'good american accents'... it's quite soothing, and he puts up surreal pictures of nebulas and such that he gets from NASA's site. Plus the room is all dark and warm, perfect for naps.

statmanBBB

Because consumption has increased to compensate. Which is why a cheap bastard like myself who doesn't give a rats ass about good food, nice cars, etc. will (if all goes well) be able to retire early.

MY standard "work week' has been 55-60 hours/week for 19 years now ...... *dunno 'bout the real world* .. I never get out there, but I have a lamea** "tech-support" job .. when things are good, ..I FARK.COM ... when things are bad, I work .... **shrug** ... things are good today

Hmmm. I sleep in the john at work, but I tend to snore. Our men's room is so small that it would only amplify my already thunderous snoring.

Anybody else get really freaking tired right after eating lunch?

When I hear my cubie neighbor snoring, I drop my phone book onto the top of my file cabinet. Scares the crap out of him every time. Unfortunately, it also scares the crap out of my other non-sleeping cubie neighbors. Still though, it's funny as hell.

Anybody else get really freaking tired right after eating lunch?

Every farking day my friend...

Unless I eat like a bird... then I'm just hungry and irritable.

I've never fallen asleep at work, well, except during lunch while still in college. I'm pretty sure no one in my office naps, but the boss's son pees all over the toilet seat and doesn't flush. That's unrelated, but it does annoy the heck out of me.

And I'm sure I submitted the WoMD story with a funnier headline.

hours/week depends on my current work load, status of current projects. On lite periods I work 40 hours, but when I have tons to get done it's more like 55/60.

I do what it takes to get my work done...One time I was working over the weekend - cutting/releasing a project, and was there for 30 hours straight.

It always cracks me up ... you people and your 50 - 70 hour work week. I work 40 hours, not one second more UNLESS it's an emergency only I can handle... I make this clear to my supervisors, to HR, to the folks interviewing me. I am an IT/IS Manager for a transatlantic firm, been in IT for going on 16 years now... get every job I actually want too (and believe it or not, experience gets it, not any certs I don't have and don't want because all but a few are meaningless crap on paper that are no reflection of the person holding them). It's the work you do, how you do it, how well you organize (and delegate if you are in that position) and your skills in crafting your resume/interviewing that can avoid this... we had plenty of morons at the Snake Pit (State Farm) who pulled 60+ hour weeks in IT, and they never lasted and it didn't get them a dime more than it did me with my hard rule of working my expected 40 hour week and not one second more. If a company insists on it, insist on massive compensation or leave... live is too short to burn out working those kind of hours.

I would have commented earlier but I was sleeping at work .....

I would have napped this morning, but I was on the phone for 2+ hours dealing with my shiatty HMO. Guess I have some catching up to do...:-P

One of my coworkers is sleeping right now. I can hear her snoring.

I work 50+ hrs a week standard. I enjoy what i do, and i figger overtime is reflected in the bonus. I'm not IT, though, work on the investment side. Therefor i suck at HTML and refuse to make anything "bold" or "italic".

But the real question should be, not how many nod, but how many wink wink, and how many 'say no more'?!?

When I was a construction inspector, I had a job that had to start on a Thursday morning and not stop until it was done. The construction crew would rotate workers, so a fresh batch would arrive every 12 hours or so. I needed the overtime in a bad way, so off to work at 7AM on Thursday. By Friday around noon, I started getting really tired. By Friday night, I had to lie down. But every time I dozed off, somebody would come get me. Saturday morning came and went. I got about an hour and a half when some equipment broke down and the job came to a halt at around 6PM. I woke up and felt fine. We finished the job at noon on Sunday. I slept from about 1 PM to 7 AM Monday morning. My dickhead boss yelled at me for being late Monday morning. I then told him what happened. He never came back to the job site.

The down side to the story is that being without sleep for that long screwed up my sleep pattern for about a year. I would wake up for an hour every three to four hours.

I made a nice check that pay period, but looking back, it wasn't worth it.

I've nodded off at every job Ive ever had, every class ive taken, and generally all the farking time. This is not one of those cases wher someone more willing should have my job, this is a shiatty perma-temp position with no benifits and pays barely more than min-wage. Its always between 10:00 and 12:00 that I cant stay awake at all. oh and i don't even take 30 minute naps at lunch- I go for a full hour even though lunch is supposed to be 42 min. I oversleep and in the end I guess im trying to get fired cause im wasting my time here

Maybe we wouldn't fall asleep if managers stopped having meetings just to hear their own voices.

I will also second the comments about night shift. I worked night shift and every week there was a staff meeting held at 8 am with the night shift people and the executive types who never were in before 8 am. They would have long winded speeches where they went over and over the same thing in twenty minutes when a simple three minutes would have sufficed. Well, I fell asleep in every single meeting but one in two years. My coworkers even went so far as to set up a betting pool as to when I would fall asleep. I could always tell when someone got the dreaded "8:40 or later" spot because they'd always be asking me if I wanted some soda or something. The one time I did stay awake, there was intense dicussion over who should win. After a vote, it was decided that I should collect the pot. That five bucks was well spent!

Light napping after eating is one thing, but in most cases drowsiness during the day indicates a lack of sleep. Check out the information on healthy sleeping and sleep disorders at sleepfoundation.org.

I take naps in the server room from time to time...


/the only one with access

Best dozing off moment: Economics lecture at 7 in the farking morning. woke up and *nobody* was left in the
room. everyone got up and left quietly...

I'll doze off sometimes- usually on a monday after
teaching skiing all weekend- hard to make it between
three and five sometimes...

If you fall asleep at work, you deserve to be fired. There are plenty of people without jobs that could take your place and do the job right.

Of course, they'll fall asleep as well.

I last about 25.46 minutes in a meeting. After that, I am out like a light. It sucks, I have to pull the hand covering eyes while leaning on table manuever.

I know that maneuver all to well, my friend. Plus, I have actually fallen asleep in the middle of a meeting. Luckily the boss was sitting on the same side of the table and couldn't see me because theyre was someone between us.

Sleeping in the toilet rules.

If 1 in 4 masterbate at work, I want someone to point out who the women are I work with who participated in that study.

Please, Santa?

I'm getting sleepy.

I feel asleep.

I think with my job which I just started today I'm most definiatley gona fall asleep. Today I got to watch for seven hours, training videos on the computer about how to use the software product that the company I work for develops, I almost went nuts! I mean I was watching them but I was in a trance. God I'm gona go nuts.
