Our biggest problem is finding a safe place to take a nap. Under the desk is too risky, and the conference rooms are always being invaded by "teams" looking to do some real work. Recently, we hit upon the gym. It has a big aerobics room that is dark and empty much of the time, and we asked the staff if it would be okay if we stretched out on an exercise mat in the there and caught some shut eye. They said fine, even agreed to wake us up when we wanted, but the problem is that people are constantly going in there to pursue their solitary exercise regimes and we feel uncomfortable sprawled out in the corner, on our blue mat, covered by a yoga blanket. Twice we've tried, and twice we've been chased out, once by a middle-aged woman who practices her belly dancing there (she makes a jingling noise that makes it hard to sleep) and once by a woman who marched around the room like she was rehearsing for a musical about Mussolini. It's very annoying. Here's this whole room just offering itself up to us, and people keep fucking us over. The one day (this was with the belly dancer) we hung in for almost 20 minutes, but every five minutes or so we felt obligated to do some leg lifts to give the impression that we weren't in there just napping, for Christ's sake. Who would do such a thing? Not us. Not until we find the room dark, empty and quiet, at least.
I have mastered the art of sleep-sitting, a talent I minored in during High School so many years ago. So it wasnt a total loss.

Now we have a great walkway that goes to the beach and to the canals that came from the partnership of community with government
