Some of you may remember the experiment on a Sunday in August wherein I came in early to work and left the lights on. My hypothesis was that at some point, probably sooner rather than later, a temp would come in and simply turn the lights on without asking, no matter how many people were in the room cheerfully working in the darkness. As it turned out, the sixth person to arrive came in, saw five of us clicking in the dark, and politely asked if it was OK to turn on the lights. Courtesy 1, Cynicism 0.
Anyway, got here early today, and experiment round 2 is in progress. Only one other person has arrived so far, and he made no move for the light switch. Same guy who arrived first last time, as it happens. We'll see if cynicism can tie the score today.
