1. "They told me at the blood bank this might happen."
2. "This is just a 15 minute power-nap like they raved about in the last
time management course you sent me to."
3. "Whew! Guess I left the top off the liquid paper"
4. "I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and
envisioning a new paradigm!"
5. "This is one of the seven habits of highly effective people !"
6. "I was testing the keyboard for drool resistance"
7. "Actually doing a "Stress Level Elimination Exercise Plan" (SLEEP)
you learned at the last mandatory seminar your boss made you attend.
8. "I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work-related
stress. Are you discriminatory towards people who practice Yoga?"
9. "Darn! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution
to our biggest problem."
10. "The coffee machine is broke...."
11. "Someone must've put decaf in the wrong pot."
12. "Boy, that cold medicine I took last night just won't wear off!"
13. "Ah, the unique and unpredictable circadian rhythms of the
workaholic!"
14. "Wasn't sleeping. Was trying to pick up contact lens without hands."
