Dozing at the desk…
You ever have one of those days where you are so incredibly tired that you find yourself nodding off at work? I do. In fact, it used to happen quite frequently and still does every now and then.
I’ll be plugging away at the computer and then the next thing you know, I’m out like a light. My staff knows it happens, my boss knows it happens… most of the time they just pull my office door close and let me catch a few winks.
There’s just one teeny-weeny problem: I snore. LOUDLY. I’m fairly sure it’s an inherited trait. Both my parents snore a good bit, and my maternal grandmother, who weighs all of 105 pounds soaking wet, is the champ. She can rattle the walls, though I’m old I come pretty close. I’m told I sound somewhat like a congested Texas steer when I nod off. Even closing my office door when I nod off at work doesn’t always stifle the noise of me cutting logs.
There are certain little elfs around my office who like to sneak pictures of me in repose, print them out and post them around the office. There are at least two posted on the wall behind my staffers’ desks. But I guess them’s the breaks when you nod off at work.
Luckily, this has not been a regular occurrence with my recent exercise program. I’ve found myself having more energy throughout the day and sleeping better at night, so that is likely making a difference.
Still, given the fact that I’ve been busy both in and out of the office, there’s a chance where a nap at my desk may happen. I only hope more pictures don’t turn up on the walls around the building… ![]()
