I popped into the office and the airport to say hello and check in to see what the team are up to. This guy wasnt up to much at all I caught him sleeping on the job! Wow, did he get a shock when I woke him up. He must have thought he was dreaming because he went straight back to sleep. To be fair, he was on standby, getting some much needed rest.

... take a selfie with the sleeping employee to embarrass him with later.
Hey, who wouldn't do that?

Within the rules. So, nothing embarrassing...

Did you read what Branson wrote? Just a little ball busting in good fun.

It was okay, as I had been working the night shift, but I sure didn't go right back to sleep.
