Today, after a sleepless night, I fell asleep at my work desk. When I awoke, I found my co-workers had duct taped me to my chair. I was yelling at them to untape me, when our boss came in, scolded me for fucking about on the job, and left without saying a word to my colleagues. FML

Well, I can see how this can be unfair. However, you shouldn't be falling asleep at work. Energy drink!

You're at a desk, just use scissors or a letter opener to get free from the tape. Then after work, meet your coworkers in the parking lot with duct tape and wheely chairs and push them out into traffic. >:)

Quite a flaw in your logic sir.

Use teeth. People often tape me up in an attempt to quietly dispose of me, so trust me on this.

Well, honestly, you kind of deserve being reprimanded for falling asleep on the job. If you knew you were in the position to fall asleep, your best bet would have been to call in sick, if possible.

that's a nice thought but welcome to reality.

Reality is you shouldn't be sleeping while at work. Fantasy is having a job that lets you sleep while on the clock

Depends on the job. I can usually get 2 or 3 hours of broken sleep at mine if I need it, because I work rotating 12 hour shifts doing extremely draining work. The company would rather we be well rested and alert when working since its a shitty environment with A LOT of mobile equipment being operated.

Not going to lie here, you kind of deserved it for sleeping at work. I suppose you may have had a valid reason, but based on the information provided, you deserved the scolding, the duct tape, not so much. FYL indeed.

I think it's time for you to start plotting.

Z is one of the coolest letters, don't forget to use it whenever you can. Gets big points in scrabble too.

I guess you could say you were in quite the sticky situation.
