Sleep Ninja

So here’s how my afternoon went yesterday…

2 PM and I’m still thinking about how good that sandwich and soup were. Perfect crusty bread, still warm from the oven, the spinach, the provolne cheese…zzz…*snap back awake* Time to focus on the upcoming audit. Move some files around, click on a few screens.

But that lunch was sooo good. The perfect spice in the french onion soup. Mmmm, soup in a bread bowl. Yummmm….zzzz…*commencing food coma in 3, 2, 1….*…zzzzz…..zzzzz*SLAM!*

The sound was sort of like a thud. The last time I jolted awake so hard a tree had fallen on a car a few blocks away. I woke up with a splitting headache, reached up touched my head, and felt a knot forming.

Yeah, so I actually fell asleep so hard that I my head slammed into my desk. Thank goodness no one was near my workstation when it happened, but for the rest of the day I kept getting comments like “Daaaaamn, what happened to your head?”. My boss was in meetings all afternoon, so I managed to avoid having an ‘important discussion’ about my -itis mishap.

Note to self: Don’t eat a heavy lunch at work. Stick to salads and a walk. Sleep is a dangerous summamabitch.
