How many do you think is in here? I took pic of all four sides.

As the title states, I'm the sole programmer of a company and I don't really get tracked on what I do on a daily basis, so I've started booking a meeting room for a 30 minute power nap on the couch in there. I close the shutter for the door so no one can peek in. I get really tired after eating and it really helps give me a boost of energy for afternoon work.

First off this happened 3 months ago and the ops manager already settled it. Second he told said person and myself it's settled don't speak of it again not quite legal but I get where he's coming from.

My boss was out for a couple of weeks (a wedding, then sick).

I just wish (name) would retire already… Edit: nephew is co-owner
