Fatty, I don't feel so bad for you getting fired, now!

Fatty always said he took naps at work but to see it is hilarious! Now I don't feel as bad about my own work ethic.

Now we are talking the good life! Those were heady days my friends. That was in my 'sweet' office. In the corner office with lots of windows and a private seating area (off photo). The corner was sweet because no one had a reason to wander by except to see me. If they had reason to do so, they were prepared on what to expect.  
 
Fuck sleeping in the car. I did that. Its much nicer pulling out the old beanbag (made at steelcase), putting on the headphones and drifting off to sweet slumber.  
 
Thanks for putting on the photo brohair. It brought back some good times.

I love that you even had a blanket at the ready. You're as good as Constanza with the under-the-desk bed and alarm clock setup.

He was a model for my success. In my old workstation, I could hide the beanbag under my desk. With the proper location of boxes and chairs, I was nearly invisible. I could be more flagrant in my napping at the new workstation. I was all out in the open. Its funny. I didn't notice this at the time, but behind me overlooking my workarea is a glassed in area of the floor above. I wonder how many fuckers went walking by to look down and see me crashed out on the beanbag. I'll bet they cursed and called me names but secretly wished they had the balls.  
 
My boss came across me a few times. It was not a big deal for him. It was on my breaks or lunch, and if he needed me to work, I stopped my nap.  
 
The naps were replaced when the pool table arrived. We played 3 times a day most of the time. Pool took at least an hour of our day. Shame of it all - I never got real good at it with all the practice.  
 
Think my work was crazy - you betcha. They put in a naproom - one of the few places with 4 walls and a door. It was equipped with a couch, chimes, and a noise machine to make soothing sounds - like a babbling brook.  
 
They put all those things in to 'show off' to customers on how trendy and cool Steelcase was. The powers-that-be didn't think employees would actually use the cool stuff. It went against the old company culture. Fuck that! The new bloods used it and they couldn't say shit! We used that shit exactly the way it was intended.  
 
Oh, don't get me wrong. I did work - when I wasn't napping, eating, walking, or playing pool ;)

HaHaHaHaHa, I love it Fatty, that's the way to do it.

I just hope that photo was taken for blackmail purposes.

No wonder Steelcase has been losing money.

Steelcase is so screwed up that they are still losing money in spite of me being fired for over a year.  
 
Little did they know that when I was napping, I was formulating a new office furniture strategy which would have made them billions! I was set to unveil it to the board the week after they shit-canned me.  
 
It was for the best. Those dumb bastards would never see the beauty of the bean-bag office concept.
