Sleepy Surprises

I don't like surprises in Cube City. Because I don't like surprises, I do what I can to prevent them. I check my work email around 10:00 every night before coming into work because, like I said, I don't want any surprises if I can help it.

But lately, a cube dweller has been sending emails around 1:00 AM, and not just to me. I feel like I need to come into work three hours early just to respond to all of her emails, and I have to wonder where she is during regular office hours and why she can't send her emails then, when we're all on a level playing field. Other cube dwellers agree with me that she needs to get a life. Or at least some sleep. Nobody should be sending emails at 1:00 AM.

If I didn't have a life, I'd surprise her with a 1:01 AM reply.
