Excuses To Use When Caught Sleeping At Work
They told me at the blood bank that this might happen.
This is just a 15 minute power nap like they raved about in that
time management course you sent me to.
I was working smarter – not harder.
Whew! I must have left the top off the whiteout.
I wasn’t sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm!
This is one of the seven habits of highly effective people!
I was testing the keyboard for drool resistance.
I’m in the management training program.
I’m actually doing a Stress Level Elimination Exercise Plan (SLEEP). I learned
at the last mandatory seminar you made me attend.
This is in exchange for the six hours last night when I dreamed about work!
I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work related stress.
Do you discriminate against people who practice Yoga?
No! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem.
The coffee machine is broken….
Someone must have put decaf in the wrong pot.
Boy, that cold medicine I took last night just won’t wear off.
Ah, the unique and unpredictable circadian rhythms of the workaholic!
I wasn’t sleeping. I was trying to pick up my contact lens without my hands.
The mail courier flipped out and pulled a gun so I was playing dead to avoid getting shot.
Geez, I thought you (the boss) were gone for the day.
I’m just resting my eyes.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a GREAT WEEKEND people, stay safe, and
whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
Every day a peddler pulled his cart of wool from his home to the village market. It was
a long trip. He had to travel around the perimeter of a large lake that was owned by the
town tycoon, a modern-day scrooge. One day during the winter the lake frozen over. The
peddler realized that he could cut off two miles from his trip if he crossed over the lake.
He was spotted halfway across the lake by the tycoon. Scrooge came racing out of his
mansion and screamed at the peddler, “I’ll be darned if I let anyone pull the wool over my ice!”
Thursday’s’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? “
“I’ve just been down the gullet of an interstellar cockroach. That’s one of a hundred memories I don’t want.”
Answer: Men in Black!
The world is crawling with aliens, and most of us have no idea that they’re there. The organization known as MIB exists, in secrecy, to monitor that alien life. When a Bug lands, looking to create havoc in the galaxy, drawing Earth into the middle of it, the agents of MIB spring into action to save the day.
This quote occurs near the end of the movie, when Agent Kay, played by Tommy Lee Jones, has announced his intention to retire and has asked Agent Jay, played by Will Smith, to wipe his memory clear. Jay protests, and Kay replies with the above quote.
Friday’s Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from???
“Always the same narrow people, the same mindless FACES”
Thursday’s Quizzler is….
Created I was, in 1841,
By someone with the name of an evil one,
He was a Belgian, living in Paris,
This man had to be very zealous.
Fourteen of me, this young man made,
Some above A, but not quite B,
With some higher than D, but lower than E,
And some that are C, and three halves above D,
That’s why my popularity’s so easy to see.
Golden with lacquer, I usually am,
I sometimes am used to honor Uncle Sam,
Patented I was in 1846,
I’m the one who gives some their kicks,
I’m shaped like a J – with a hook on the end,
So, can you tell what I am?
ANSWER: A Saxophone.
Created I was, in 1841,
By someone with the name of an evil one,
He was a Belgian, living in Paris,
This man had to be very zealous.
Adolphe Sax invented the saxophone in 1841. Adolphe Sax’s name
has a resemblance to Adolf Hitler, an evil one indeed…
Fourteen of me, this young man made,
Some above A, but not quite B,
With some higher than D, but lower than E,
And some that are C, and three halves above D,
That’s why my popularity’s so easy to see.
Sax made 14 different types of saxes. Seven pitched in C and F (F is three half-steps above D,
hence three halves above D), and seven pitched in Eb (That’s E Flat for you non-musicians,
which is above D and lower than E) and Bb (above A and not quite B).
Golden with lacquer, I usually am,
I sometimes am used to honor Uncle Sam.
Saxes are usually golden, and the covering is referred to a lacquer.
Saxes are also used in Military bands, thus “honoring Uncle Sam”
Patented I was in 1846,
I’m the one who gives some their kicks,
I’m shaped like a J-with a hook on the end,
Most saxes are J shaped with a hook with the exception of the Soprano Sax.
Many Jazz enthusiasts get their “kicks” or enjoyment from saxophone players.
