My co-worker just fell asleep at her desk...
The woman I sit next to is in her early 60's. Short, puerto rican woman. Total pack rat. Her desk is absolutely atrocious. I should take a picture and post it on the net. HR has talked to her about it. So has the head of our dept. At one time, my supervisor took a ton of her shit and just threw it in a closet.
In any case, I just looked over at her and she had her headphones on, hands resting on her stomach...and eyes closed. She was there for about 5-10 minutes. My supervisor came out and saw her. Gradually, everyone else noticed. He kept motioning me to take her pulse.
Then he held up a make-up mirror and wanted me to put it under her nose to see if it fogged up.
Just ridiculous. How the hell do people get away with it?

I have a coworker that does that all the time as well. From behind he looks like he is looking at his monitor and his hand is on the mouse but he is SOUND asleep. My manger caught him a couple times and he told him about it, it's pretty funny.

My friend had a REAL problem staying awake at work. Funny thing was he would fall asleep in meetings with only 4 other people! Kind of hard to hide that. Needless to say he lost his job for it.
and yes post pictures of her desk!

Before getting moved upstairs about 2 months ago, there was somebody I sat by that would fall asleep a lot. I was just downstairs this morning and she's not there anymore. Shocking.

I suggest you punch her right in the kidneys. Let's see how soundly the bitch sleeps while coughing up blood!
