Reasons why one should never arrive early to work:
Because that allows for the chance to run into a fellow named XXX, whom you haven’t seen in over 10 years, the last time he tried to, ahem, get friendly.
Said fellow is quite surprised to see you, and is confused as per why you might be riding the elevator in his public policy building, and then asks the ridiculous question, “So, how are you?” As if you can sum up 12 years of your life in the elevator ride to the 15th floor.
Goodness, what foolish youth.
My favourite response: Early mornings are never good for negative nostalgia.
More details please.
