    Yeah, that wouldn't go over well with my boss. I like sleep though, maybe I can pull one over on him. =)
    A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    I've always thought about how it might help me think if I took 20 or 30 minutes a day out of my lunch break to nap in the corner with a pillow...but I don't expect my boss would approve of that. :p

    Maybe now's a good time to set up a bed in my car.
