Maybe he is trying to absorb information on the paper by osmosis? You know like some people play themselves tapes of e-books or motivational stuff to themselves while they sleep at night. :confused:

LOL.

Either that or he thinks everyone will mistake him for a pile of papers and not notice him sleeping.

Next time I'll check to to see if the page is blank or includes text. In my section, 4 out of the 7 members are asleep at lunch. None of the OLs do. That is my unscientific survey.
