10 Best Things to Say If Your Caught Sleeping at Your Desk

10. "They told me at the blood bank this might happen."

9. "This is just a 15 minute power-nap like they raved about in that time management course you sent me to."

8. "Whew! Guess I left the top off the White-Out. You probably got here just in time!"

7. "I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm."

6. "I was testing my keyboard for drool resistance."

5. "I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work-related stress. Are you discriminatory toward people who practice Yoga?"

4. "Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem.

3. "The coffee machine is broken..."

With the wide variety of needs at Fronhofer Tool, it is nice to support a local vendor as they provide for us. One such business is Salem Precision Tool, owned by Tim Gleason who established the company in 1984. This company services a wide variety of the industrial cutting tool needs with fast turnarounds and high quality at a competitive price.

A specialty service provided by Salem Precision Tool is the grinding and repairing of milling tools in carbide and H.S.S. Almost any configuration from simple end mills to complicated step tooling is not a problem for Tim. Along with the regrinding service, he offers cylindrical and surface grinding of parts for both long and short runs.

We appreciate the chance to lower our costs by reusing tooling and especially the chance to have a working relationship with a local company.
