that's what I was trying to determine, is she writing it up to share with us or is she writing it up like for HR?
mofongo , that seems like an overreaction, no?? I swear I nod off at my desk once a week, and regularly shut the door for a proper nap at least once a week, too! I get my work done, I am salaried and I always have great reviews. Who cares if I take 20 minutes during the day to nod off? lol.
Not really, can’t have medical staff sleeping while doing patient care. Obviously doesn’t apply to everyone, but the rule is across the board.
Same in education. Can't have staff sleeping while caring for children. A coworker of mine was fired for that specific reason back in 2012.

@rebeccawelton that story about the drum circle is really cute. I do think people can hear what’s around them as they are transitioning into passing on. Wishing your family peace at this difficult time. ❤️

The last time I saw my mom I sang her the lullaby she sang to me as a child and smiled. It was a really beautiful moment .
Even better my stepmom was PISSED because mom didn’t smile for her.

At my first teaching job, I used to close my door, lay behind my desk and nap all the time during free periods (I was 21...we went out late most nights...). One day, the SRO broke down my door because all he could see from the hall were my legs and he was very worried. I never did it again.
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”

We played my mom and stepdad’s wedding song, “Here and Now” by Luther Vandross. The last thing he said was, “again.” We played it several more times even after it was clear he was no longer responsive.
These moments are so hard and beautiful and raw and painful all at once. I am so grateful for hospice nurses.

This reminds me of when I was young and working one of my first jobs, when I was hungover I’d go to my car at lunch, recline the seat and take a nap. Had a little blanket I kept in my car for just that purpose. Oh to be young again! Now I would suffer for 3 days after that.

Ha! I do this often. Postcovid I cannot survive with out nap some days.
I actually thought not sleeping while being paid was one of those things that did apply to everyone, barring some unusual one off emergency or something. 10 people are now going to tell me to mind my own business lol.
My friend has a coworker who would routinely fall asleep in her cube, in open view of everyone. She would even nod off during zoom calls. She was written up for it more than once, and then finally got diagnosed with sleep apnea and got a medical exception. Apparently now that she’s been using a CPAP, it doesn’t happen anymore.
I need to ask my doctor about this because I swear I could nap daily and I get between 7-8 hours of sleep a night.
P.S. the bottom line on my cube neighbor’s nap is: please don’t let your alarm go off long enough for people around you to investigate the weird beeping sound 🤣
omg that is BOLD!
to starburst604's point, my work DOES encourage good work/life balance (large area hospital) and we have an entire area dedicated to napping and massage chairs, etc. And employees openly talk about going out to their cars to nap during lunch (salaried) but for me to get to my car 3 blocks away, or nap in front of people, I would rather just shut my office door for 20 minutes and get my little cat nap, lol.

there was an amazing teacher in HS who had been there for like 30 years or something. He was everyone's favorite and I think because of how long he had been there, he had a private office when no other teachers did. He would always tell us that he had a cot in his office and never come during his lunch because he took a nap daily. Admin found out about it and took his cot away and he was so sad, lol.

I would do this when I was pregnant until my belly got too big. That is when my regular lunchtime naps started, lol.
