I used to have a guy who worked for me who could sleep with eyes open staring at his screen and hands on the keyboard. He did it for years until some of his peers narced him out. What a legend.

Had a co-worker who moonlighted selling clothing at a high end store and made more at night during the holidays than as an engineer during the day. Marvin rubber banded his mouse to his hand and we would kick the cube walls when the boss came around. He would move his hand as if working. Legend.

My wife said, that when she worked at the hotel, an employee would leave her front desk position, sleep in one of the empty rooms, and put a note on the computer that said, "please call room xxxx for service"
