EXCERPT:
I seriously can’t do this report right now. I’m not in the mood. I have time to procrastinate, so I might as well do just that. Perhaps a little cat-nap would lighten my mood. I am feeling pretty sleepy.
A little nap might be helpful
for this mood I can’t seem to get out of. And yes, I do realize I’m at work.
How could it be possible for me to take a nap? Oh, but it is possible.
And no, Spectraltech does not offer break rooms with cots in them, even though
I anonymously left an article on the president of the company’s desk about how
napping during the day can bring up productivity and morale in a company. He
obviously didn’t bother reading it.
No big deal because I am
actually the queen of taking little snoozes at work. A self-titled queen, but a
queen nonetheless. No one actually knows about it because it’s not something one
should brag about. But it is quite a talent if I do say so myself.
It took me some time to perfect
it, but I figured it out. Basically,
I just lean my head on my left hand while my right hand moves the mouse. It
took practice to be able to sleep and move the mouse at the same time, but I
mastered it. I’ve also made sure that my computer screen is placed
strategically in front of me. That way, if anyone were to walk into my office,
my face would be hidden from view. It’s genius, really.
Luckily for me, I don’t
have to use this technique that often (it tends to put a bit of a kink in your
neck) because I have a little secret: Upstairs on the sixth floor is a rarely
used conference room. It’s mostly used for the Board of Directors quarterly
meeting. Sometimes they will use it for presentations to investors or buyers,
but this is rare.
Since Mr. Nguyen is the VP
of accounting, he is always a part of the board meetings. Being the next person
ranked under Mr. Nguyen and his assistant, I know his schedule and, therefore,
know if the conference room is in use. Today, as in most days, it’s vacant.
This means I can grab some files (my disguise) and head up to the sixth floor
to catch a little nap.
It’s brilliant, right? Too
bad I am the only one that gets to celebrate my napping-at-work discovery since
it’s not something one would want to share with one’s coworkers.
