He's probably going on one of his breaks,for a nice bacon sandwich lovingly prepared for him in the subsidised canteen after which he can have a lesuirely game of pool and then a gentle stroll back to his machine for a little snooze while his manager catches up on his facebook page.

I used to do nights at our D.O.
Getting used to sleeping during the day was simple.
Getting used to having a few beers after work while everyone else was eating their cornflakes was a different story. :whistle
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

If you'd put the beer on the cornflakes it would have appeared more normal though :cuppa

If its anything like the CSS covers in our office you'll hardly do a walk from now on, they're on the machines virtually every week.
