CRANSTON, R.I. (AP) — An employee of a Rhode Island city wasn’t sleeping on the job — it appears he was sleeping at his job.

A Cranston Highway Department worker who just sold his house set up a makeshift bedroom on the second-floor of the department’s building.

A photo making its way around social media shows a room with a bed, a nightstand, coffee maker, even slippers and what appear to be pajamas.

City Administration Director Robert Coupe confirmed an employee was disciplined. He said the bedroom was in use for a short period of time and the setup ended.

The worker’s name was not made public.
