Yesterday for work I had to attend a meeting with my boss for a histories project I have been working on. In that meeting were members of the 70 and other "high up" people and also a couple members from every single department in the church. I knew I was going to be tired especially because this meeting was right after lunch. About 15 minutes into the presentation I was fighting with all I had in me to keep my eyes open. I finally noticed I was slipping off when I started hearing my name and my division announced. The guy presenting was talking about work I had done that he was impressed with and called me by name in front of all these people. And what was I doing?.... SLEEPING! Wow.
My boss leaned over and said, "I didn't know you were famous." I just blushed and admitted to being asleep and apologized if I embarrassed him. He just laughed and said he knew I was asleep!
THEN TODAY... the office is dead because no one wants to work the day before Thanksgiving. My boss is here and a handful of other people. Well I was dozing and my head was doing that embarrassing nodding thing while I sat here at my computer. I decided I would lay my head on the back of my chair for just one second. Then I wake up to my boss yelling down the hall at me while laughing, "Wow! Alexis is OUT!"
Geesh... so embarrassing. I don't know why he hasn't fired me yet!
On a side note, since all of us secretaries had to work today and we were all dreading it I said it should be pink day. Just for fun we all wore pink and some of us curled our hair. Take a look below:
I actually fell asleep while waiting at a stop light when I was 6 months pregnant! It was frightening when I bumped the car in front of me! I remember that sometimes it was actually painful how tired I could be.
