I’m always falling asleep in meetings.
I’ve tried coffee and energy drinks and the occasional pill or two.
Nothing works.
Then, on Halloween, I went to the office dressed as Spiderman.
I didn’t say anything as Spiderman. I just pantomimed things.
I was the old Electric Company show Spiderman, who didn’t talk.
Nobody could see my closed eyes behind the mask.
I napped peacefully through meetings.
When someone would ask me what I thought, I’d pantomime an ambiguous answer.
And then napped again.
Until one day, when I woke up, everyone was wearing a Spiderman costume and napping through meetings.
