This intern fell asleep on his second day at work and became a glorious meme
A REDDITOR WHO goes by the name of TheOrangeDuke had just started his internship at a tech company in the States.
On the second day, he was so tired that he fell asleep at his desk. His new colleagues thought this was gas so they snapped a photo.
When he woke up he saw the funny side too, and shared the story with the internet
