i may have to do this for at least half an hour or so - i can't think of anywhere better/worse than the toilet cubicles... any better ideas?

some guy once came into my office and slept under a table for an hour - but that office is there no more.

No the toilet rules, best place to do nearly anything you'd rather keep secret, like taking a shit for example

The rest room. Being a first aider rocks.

i could go and sleep in the little attic we have here that's full of old giant computers and components, but people would notice i was gone and that would never do

Just move a bed into yr office and tell people you have some disorder and so on

They have "new mother" rooms here so women can go in there and pump the breasts for milk. They are never occupied and they have couches......

Couldn't you make some kind of stevem dummy to replace you at your seat? x-post

yes, best place to take a shit is the toilet.

Depends how much you like yr job Mark

Grow your hair long in the back and engineer a clip system that clips to clips in your collar, keeping your head from lurching forward so you can sleep sitting up. Your mouth will be totally open and it'll look so phat.

search: the warehouse (provided it's not accessed frequently), the supplies closet (ditto), up on a very high shelf on accessable by mountaineering techniques or a forklift, your car.

destroy: the register, your boss' office.

We were sent to hide our idle asses in the boiler room at Liberty once.

sigh, got about 5 minutes of shut eye at the bog - nowhere near enough but it'll have to do.

I miss the days when it was in a hospital place proper and there were places with beds and stuff. (for training purposes)

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 14:03 (twenty-one years ago)

There are beds in some of the training rooms on the 2nd floor, Ken. With CPR dummies that you can cuddle while snoozing.

wow! okay i'm gonna try and check this out.. report back in a bit.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 14:05 (twenty-one years ago)

the roof!

I'd suggest against it. Invariably you're going to feel like shit when you wake up, as you probably won't have slept especially comfortably. That woozy feeling will stay with you for the rest of the day. Moreover, someone's bound to walk in on you or startle you or something. See if you can hold out until the end of the day.

this might actually work. i just need a voice-activated tape recorder ensonced that automatically plays the responses "yeah", "dunno" and "end of the week should be fine"

freight elevator?

― A Nairn (moretap), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 14:26 (twenty-one years ago)

oh god liz that place looks like the most comfortable place on earth just now - spacious, dark and has a bed!

Unfortunately the bed also faces directly to the doorway!!! if i were somewhere else in that room i would have been in cuckooland right now.

stevem - just have the tape recorder to say "no" "no" and "bugger off i'm busy"!!!

sleep in your car if you have the option. always helps me.

― Kingfish Cowboy (Kingfish), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 14:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Dude, it's a hospital bed. On wheels.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

but if someone looks in there and see the bed not there they'd go "dude, where's my hospital bed"

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 14:43 (twenty-one years ago)

The darker follow-up to "dude, where's my car?"

― winterland, Wednesday, 17 March 2004 14:45 (twenty-one years ago)

WE have a couch in the women's bathroom here. All the higher ups are male, so whenever someone doesn't feel like working, they just go in there and read.

but if someone looks in there and see the bed not there they'd go "dude, where's my hospital bed"

.. And you might wake up without a leg, due to a bizarre (and hilarious) hospital mix-up.

"Dude, where's my kidneys?"

― winterland, Wednesday, 17 March 2004 14:48 (twenty-one years ago)

this is not the thread I needed to sleepily see today.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 14:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I used to work with an alcoholic bookkeeper who kept a cot up in a loft that was used to store bubble wrap and packing material.

He had a little milk crate for a nightstand and everything. This went on for several months.

Toilet is the best -- it even has its own term: "crap nap."

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 18:03 (twenty-one years ago)

The room with the servers has a door that locks and a comfy chair and the soothing hum of computer buzz and is very warm and has no windows and myself and the systems administrator refer to it as the nap-cave.
