Drew Magary shares a humorous anecdote from his time at Gawker Media, focusing on an incident where he took an impromptu nap in the office. As a remote worker, most colleagues did not recognize him, which led to confusion when they saw him napping without shoes. He explains that this behavior stems from his struggles with back pain, making sitting uncomfortable. The story highlights the absurdity of workplace interactions and Magary's peculiar yet relatable coping mechanism for his condition.
The moment I laid down on that couch, I essentially became a random stranger in my own workplace, prompting bewildered reactions from my colleagues.
After multiple back surgeries, I learned that sitting can be torture. So when given the chance, I chose to nap instead of endure chairs.
