Quoted: Mayor Rob Ford on whether or not he sleeps on the job
Oh, buddy, that’s not how I sleep.
—Rob Ford telling Toronto Sun reporter Don Peat that an Imgur picture (right) that appears to catch him sleeping on the job is, in fact, not a picture of him sleeping on the job. “I’m not sleeping,” Ford told him. “You know what this is ridiculous. This is during the 24-hour meeting when deputants are every three minutes. It is so farfetched it is not even funny.” Peat asked the mayor about the picture after Ford and councillor Giorgio Mammoliti went to the media yesterday with a different photo that reportedly shows a Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation worker snoozing while on the public dime (left). The pair threatened to fire the individual, even if he was on a break or ill. We’re sure, however, that the city worker can save his job if he just tells the mayor, “Buddy, that’s not how I sleep.”

Give him a break. He might have just been high.
So that’s why Toronto Parks and Rec haven’t been returning my emails or calls!
Ford would probably say that he doesn’t take a dime from the City so he is free to sleep if he wants to.
He’s the boss of this City. come on guys ! Toronto is not your 50 storied building. its a Huge city with hundreds of thousands of demands from its residents. if he doesn’t get tired, who will, you? NO way !
He also rarely shows up to work, so he really should be well rested.
Rob Ford seems to have a complete inability to see himself, or to live up to his advertising. Put your money where your mouth is, Rob.
“He’s the boss of this City”.
If that were true, we would be in serious trouble.
…a meeting mister ford called , in order to rush through all those pesky constituents who wanted their voice to be heard , as quickly as possible so he could proceed with his own personal adjenda…
