Friday Night’s All Right for Fighting (a torrent of emails)

What is it with affiliate managers and Friday evenings? I’m only a small time affiliate signed up to a relatively small number of merchants but by 6.20pm this evening I’d received seven emails sent after 5pm today. For comparison, I only received seven emails in the first 17 hours of the day.
I know this is a constant bugbear of many affiliates but I’m already in a bad mood (see post above about Dell) and it really grates with me today. OK so I do most of my affiliate work evenings and weekends but that doesn’t mean I like spending Friday nights reading emails. At least let me have one evening a week when I can switch off.
In the sin bin (so far) this evening : The Link, HMV, Dixons (2 emails), Argos and O2 (2 emails again).
Update (6.30pm) : Cosmos Holidays join the fun. At least they start their email by apologizing for the late email.
