Ummmm...Is That Normal?

My boss recently admitted to me that she drives into work with her laptop open on the passenger seat. Not only does that seem unsafe, but it seems a bit psycho, right? I mean I can understand taking a peek at a BlackBerry or PDA of some sort at lights, etc, but to have your LAPTOP open and running next to you while driving just so you don't miss any work e-mails on your 20 minute commute in to the office? I don't get it. That woman is beyond me!
