    1. They told me at the blood bank that this might happen.
    2. This is just a 15-minute power nap like they raved about in that time management course you sent me to.
    3. I was working smarter - not harder.
    4. Whew! I must have left the top off the whiteout.
    5. I wasn’t sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm!
    6. This is one of the seven habits of highly effective people!
    7. I was testing the keyboard for drool resistance.
    8. I’m in the management training program.
    9. I’m actually doing a Stress Level Elimination Exercise Plan (SLEEP). I learned at the last mandatory seminar you made me attend.
    10. This is in exchange for the six hours last night when I dreamed about work!
    11. I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work related stress. Do you discriminate against people who practice Yoga?
    12. No! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem.
    13. The coffee machine is broken....
    14. Someone must have put decaf in the wrong pot.
    15. Boy, that cold medicine I took last night just won’t wear off.
    16. Ah, the unique and unpredictable circadian rhythms of the work aholic!
    17. I wasn’t sleeping. I was trying to pick up my contact lens without myhands.
    18. The mail courier flipped out and pulled a gun so I was playing dead toavoid getting shot.
    19. Geez, I thought you (the boss) were gone for the day.
    20. I’m just resting my eyes.
