Brilliant plan!
I've only had a 6am conference call once, and that was because I had flown to the west coast the day before, so it worked out fine for me. But my west coast colleague has them all the time! It would make me crazy, but does actually work for her.
Yeah, King Tut actually was neither born in Arizona nor moved to Babylon[i]a.

School used student laptop webcams to spy on them at school and home
According to the filings in Blake J Robbins v Lower Merion School District (PA) et al, the laptops issued to high-school students in the well-heeled Philly suburb have webcams that can be covertly activated by the schools' administrators, who have used this facility to spy on students and even their families. The issue came to light when the Robbins's child was disciplined for "improper behavior in his home" and the Vice Principal used a photo taken by the webcam as evidence. The suit is a class action, brought on behalf of all students issued with these machines.

I'd say the solution is to avoid doing this in the future, and perhaps actually end up taking her job if she continues to annoy her boss.
I am making an offer on a house! or rather, my dad and I are making an offer on a house! OMG!
