author uses the literal meaning of 'sleeping on the job' to evoke a humor

Explanation:

The above passage is a humorous yet informative passage that explains how some people are being paid to sleep on the job. The author uses the literal meaning of 'sleeping on the job' to evoke a humor on how Roisin was actually paid to sleep on the job.

Although this is mainly because the nature of the job required Roisin to sleep in designer beds and write reviews about them. However, the author cleverly and humorously makes it sound like people were being paid just to sleep on the job, which is not something we hear about often.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
