Thursday Thirteen (12th)
Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you haven't fallen asleep yet!
Thirteen Things to say when......
You are caught asleep at your desk!
#1 ~ I was looking at the desktop real close for my lost contact lens. I found it and I was trying to pick it up without using my hands.
#2 ~ errr, ummm, I ahh, there was a note inside my eyelids and I was trying to read it, yeah yeah that’s it that’s the ticket.
#3~ War flashbacks…guard duty, guard duty, heavy guard duty!
#4 ~ When I was leaving the blood bank they told me this might happen.
#5 ~ I was just taking a 15 minute power-nap like they raved about in that time management course you sent me to.
#6 ~ Phew! Guess I left the top off the liquid paper. (fumes) You probably got here just in time!
#7 ~ I wasn’t sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm.
#8 ~ I was testing my keyboard for drool resistance.
#9 ~ I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work-related stress. Are you discriminatory toward people who practice Yoga?
#10 ~ Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem!
#11 ~ Oh Wow! See what happens when you come in at five in the morning and the coffee machine is broken?
#12 ~ Somebody put decaf in the wrong pot!
I saved the best for last:
#13 ~ Raise your head and say Amen!

thats a great list I love number 4 I'll have to try that some time lol have a great day.
As a contact lens wearer, I LOVED number 1!! Happy Thursday!
Love it! But... I hope it didn't actually happen to you.
Thanks for visiting West of Mars this week. Happy TT!
Lol! that was real funny ... I love the last one ...
I'm up as well!
hahahaha - I really like the last one :)
Great list...however I would have to have a list for falling asleep while standing....we're not suppose to sit down while teaching!! lol Happy TT!!
Those are a hoot! #1 in Utah works ;-)
Have a great day! Love & hugs!
I think I've used #4 before LOL
Lol! Great list... 13 is definitely a good one... that one and the yoga move :D
Thanks for the chuckle. I enjoyed reading your list.
Ha, that is way too funny!!
Amen--chuckle. That would be good.
Love the quote at the beginning...
I don't do these... but yours was nice! And by the way a VERY Happy New Year to you TOO! ~ jb///
LOL. This is really funny. thanks for sharing.
I think 4 and 7 are my favorites. Throwing around the current buzzwords never hurts.
lol funny list! Happy T13 :)
funny funny list..mine is up as well
I lagughed really hard at #13.
I can definitely relate to #4 though!! Here at the University of Michigan we have a "Blood Battle" against Ohio State every year that lasts a week. So, I give blood at the beginning of the week...and use the tape/gauze whenever I need to get out of a class for the rest of the week. I've only done it a few times, but it works! haha.
#8 is my fave - very fun! tks for visiting my TT - happy new year!
Hilarious!
As far as your A student goes, tell him that teachers do appreciate the overachievers as unfortunately, we often deal with too many underachievers.
Wow, those are great. I may have to use a few of them at work tomorrow. Lazy Daisy
Love this list - will have to use some of these excuses over the coming weeks - still getting over Christmas and New Year
Gosh ... I really wish that those worked when Mom gets home from a hard day teachin' and finds that I haven't left my perch on the back of the couch ...
DMM
LOL! Those were great. I actually fell asleep in a meeting with my boss. I had a real excuse, it was sleep apnea. (It makes you snore loud too!)
Thanks for visiting my T13 #24 New Years Resolution Edition
Awesome list. Those are hilarious. :)
Personally, I prefer, "I'm taking a nap. Whaddaya gonna do, fire me?"
*heh*
Or,
"You know, waking someone unnecessarily isn't a capital offense... the first time." *glare*
;-)
#13 is definitely the best!! :)
LOL!Those are too funny! If I drink decaf in the morning, I'd probably be falling back asleep too! :)
My T13 is up!
bahaha!
you have saved me. i imagine i might use some of these for those ridiculous corporate mandatory ed classes.
thanks for visiting my tt.
Wonderful TT! You really made me laugh :)
Have a great Thursday!
ROFL! Your list cracked me up. Happy TT!
Mine's up, too -- it's a list of words and phrases I loathe. :)

Classic! I LOVED #13!
Welcome back, Miss Raggedy!
I had faith...never took you off the blogroll! :)
I love #13 - I have a small figurine that I always kept on my desk at work. It said, "A day hemmed in prayer seldom unravels." That is now one of my favorite sayings! What could be better than praying over your work?!
I haven't worked in about four years...do they STILL use "paradigm"? Ugh! I think that word should be banned from corporate use.
Hey
Thanks for stopping by my place!
loved the list
Those are hysterical! Great list :)
That's a great list! I maybe need it some day at college... =)
Hugs and Happy TT from Germany,
Sonny
Happy New Year to you and yours!

Im using the Blood Bank one the next time I have to
Classic! I'll have to share them with my hubby.
LOLOLOL! #8 is by far my favorite!

i usually just say "i was thinking, and concentrating reall hard!"
ROFL!!! That is awesome! I'm printing this off and sticking it in my office.

Here you are: A big bowl of freshly made (yesterday) Vanilla-Ice-cream! Smoothie! *Yummy*
I hope you'll stop by on and off for another bowl!
Hugs!!!
LOL! That was a great list! Thanks for visiting my TT
I knew someone who used #13 when he fell asleep in a class at a Christian college. The professor really couldn't argue with him...teehee...
Happy TT and thanks for stopping by my TT!
The last one is my favorite and made me chuckle! Thanks for stopping by my TT!
Too funny!
Great list...especially the last one! Did you actually come up with those yourself?!
Good stuff Raggedy, Also sorry about your loss. Seems like you two had a special kind of bond.

Ah, the perils of qwertyitis, when you have a keyboard imprint on your cheek...
Good Morning Cool One that is a great list.

LOL!!! Thanks for stopping by my TT. I really liked the last one on the list, I think that would make some people feel pretty silly. :)
What an entertaining list. I love it. Happy TT & Happy New Year!
LOL! I actually fell asleep while teaching kindergarten. That's hard to do! I was sitting in the story circle waiting for the kids to gather around and the side effect of my cold medicine took over! Never took that again while working. Happy New Year!
4, 6, and 8 are hilarious!! LOL
Thanks for stopping by my TT!
Hey girl! Welcome back!
I accidentally fell asleep in my Biology class in high school once, and I snapped awake and declared to the rest of the class, "I'm awake!" I was sooooo embarassed. :)
Just tell 'em a little catnap prepared you to be fresh and ready for your supervisor's next project ;)

Those are very funny!
I read down a bit. Brrrrr!! The snow looks pretty, but it's toooo cold for me! We've had no snow, thank goodness.
I am so sorry for your profound loss of Orville. Death of loved ones is such a traumatic blow to our lives. Your post was beautiful.
What a creative list. I had a coworker a few years ago who used to fall asleep at her desk on a regular basis. I've sent her a link. :)

the blood bank one - i like it! public service and goofing off, all in one.
Great list. My favorite was the power nap. Too bad that excuse doesn't work for my daughter....
Thanks for visiting and happy T13!
Hilarious!!!
I always fight not to fall asleep at work! Now, if the envy is too strong, I have good excuse!!
what's funniest about this is that i *just* got caught asleep in the faculty lounge yesterday at school. i think my excuse was that i was really cold (well, i was - i was still wearing my coat with the hood up and everything), and by folding myself over with my head on the desk i could stay warm while considering the kids' next assignment. :-P at least it wasn't in the middle of a class!
thanks for stopping by my site! i hope you get a chance to come visit again! :)
This is hilarious! I've got to remember some of these for when i fall asleep in class
:) Thanks for the comment, and for making me smile with your TT!!!
When hubby got home, it looked like a toy store had exploded in our living room. Heh. ;)
My hubby actual feel asleep in a meeting yesterday!! I amn going to email him your list, lol. Good job!
Oh my...I just know I've used some of those excuses at work...lol. The last one is definitely the best one!
What a fun and amusing list! I loved #8.
Happy TT!
What a funny topic! I liked #6, and #13 is regularly used by the bible college guys who are in and out of our house...I think they have perfected the pondering/spiritual masked sleeping pose. Till they fall out of their seat that is...
Jenny in Ca
LOL! I need a nap after reading this ;-)
Those are hysterical. Thanks for the laugh.
Thanks for visiting!
lol, I like this idea! It made me laugh! Thank you for the comment! And don't worry about scarring them, THEY chase the cats off the bed.

Cute list! I love it!
Thanks for visiting my TT.
thanks for the giggle! =)
and for stopping by my T13 & leaving a comment. =) hope you have a great weekend!
Cheeze Whiz you've got a lot of comments! You must visit every T13er out there. This is a great list. I keep a Bible on my desk, it comes in handy during stressful times. But now, I'm thinking I might could get away with the "Amen" bit.
I'll have to remember these for the next time I snooze at the office :)
Thanks for stopping by mine!
hilarious! :D

Hey Raggedy, that's a great list!
Thanks for stopping by my 3rd TT - I can see I have a LONG way to go - how on earth do you get over a million hits on your site meter???? And 140+ comments - wow, I'm amazed.
I'm linking you if you don't mind :) perhaps some of it will rub off... I'll be back to read more once I've caught up from my weeks holiday!
Hahahaha! That's GREAT!
Thanks for stopping by!
Love it! Especially 13. Wish I'd thought of that in high school.
Thanks for stopping by mine as well. Cheers!
That was funny! Number 11 made me laugh loudest. Mine would have been "Ouch, I must have banged my head on the desk too hard. It was out of frustration that you wont upgrade my super slow computer."
Have a GREAT day!
LOL, really cute list!
oh my goodness those were freaking hilarious!!!
