      I haven’t had a good laugh like that in years. Don’t know why I laughed so hard at this comment but thank you.

        Lol glad you enjoyed it. These fake/gay green text comments are probably well past being socially acceptable at this point, but I always get a kick out of them.

      I’ve definitely still been drunk going into the office.

      We have these “meditation rooms” and I for SURE napped for a couple hours in there throughout the day.

      I was, as always, the highest performer on my team that day.

    I once showed up 8 hours late for work. My boss wanted our team to have three eight hour shifts but he kept changing the start times and team members so much no one knew when anyone else was working unless they checked the schedule. When I showed up that day I realized I should have worked the previous shift, and another manager asked what I was still doing there. I picked up a clip board and told him I need to check some things. Basically I just stopped in front of various things, nodded slowly, then drew a picture. My boss saw me and said I was a shining example of what to do.

        Then when the boss left he murdered the manager and self-reported it immediately, then told everyone he saw boss kill manager. Everyone believed him and boss got ejected.

    I once had a micromanager that made it impossible to get anything done during a workday. So I started coming in on Saturday to catch up on all the work that kept getting interrupted. MFW he noticed the logs and my activity on the weekend and thanked me for putting in all the extra effort.

      It’s like my dad always used to say: “The day I can’t do my job drunk is the day I hand in my badge and gun.”

    Now I have the image of their alarm going off the whole time and random people opening the closet to see where the sound is coming from, only to see OP sleeping in there.

    I swearsies I’ve seen this green text before. In the comments was another green text from the perspective of one of his coworkers watching him come in drunk, then getting everyone else in on pranking him by leaving him in the closet.
