The best way to burn the candle at both ends is to go to bed early.
A colleague is mad at the world because he was observed sleeping at his desk by a visiting-from-out-of-town C-Level Executive. C-Level Executive decided she had room in her day planner to schedule a "Must Look at Attendance Records" for the group to which Sleepy reports. It was found out that Mad-at-the-World Colleague had been leaving his post early, arriving for duty late and playing fast and loose with the Company's vacation policy. And as luck would have it, the day Sleepy was found snoozing was also the day he wore pajamas to the office. Who's going to notice roomy, comfortable clothing when everyone's away celebrating Winter holidays? Apparently, visiting-from-out-of-town C-Level Executives with impeccable timing. If it were just a jammies thing, a brief conversation with the Team Leader would have been the end of the story. However, Sleepy's teammates are now under scrutiny; a fact which makes one particularly rebellious but punctual co-worker wonder what would happen if she were to show up tomorrow in the plaid flannel PJs she got for Christmas?
