Quick naps are hugely underrated. 20 minutes of sleep in the afternoon and afterwards I could do my job while juggling knives (figuratively).
A manager I worked with once pre-pandemic had his idea of "business hammocks" for the office repeatedly shot down. He was a genius though.
- craigie 5y ago>his idea of "business hammocks" for the office repeatedly shot down. He was a genius though. Sounds like nap pods lol
- hkt 5y agoExcept less coffin like in construction. That was his criticism of pods, and frankly I share it.
- ddingus 5y agoWe had a couch for a while. At other jobs, I setup the back of my Expedition. Tinted windows, bedding, a few comforts and I knocked out the short nap all the time. Would/will do again.
- frost_knight 5y agoMany moons ago I had a job with a private office. Brass nameplate on the door. I asked the intern who sat at a desk outside in the hall to kick me if I ever started acting all-pretentious-like. She agreed with great enthusiasm, but thankfully I kept a solid head about me. I had the most ridiculously comfy couch in my office. Blue, threadbare, worn-in. Every time anyone sat down in it I warned them that they were going to fall asleep if they stayed there too long. Without fail, I'd hear wood sawing after a manner of minutes. Vendors, colleagues, the CIO, the CEO, my wife dropping by to visit, that couch was insidious.
- ddingus 5y agoLove it! The one we had was pretty great too, but not quite as intoxicatingly good as yours. But, it had a big, brass buddha at one end. Rub the belly for good karma... This thread is getting me to seriously consider another one. Just started a new company and we all know how that is. A comfy couch might be just the thing.
