'My first caller here in Seattle tonight, is none other than international sales trainer Bob, Bobby, 'Beardy' Morrell. How are you Bobby Boy?'
'Thanks Frasier, well I don't know if you can help me but my problem is very simple - jet lag. I arrived last night after a 14 hour trip via San Francisco from London and after two intense hours of sleep I awoke as if an electric charge had been applied to my backside. I am now frighteningly awake for someone so utterly tired!'
'I can understand that Bobby, so tell us about this trip?'
'Well, I am here in Seattle, and my friend Jeremy is in Pennsylvania in a hotel overlooking woodland and a creek, I overlook a Freeway, but that's fine....
He is working with Jo for the next 4 days in Penn, I am here with Sam in Seattle...we were met by a lovely lady who has escorted us to our hotel and made us feel very welcome.'
'And what is your work?'
'We are training sales agents to more effective on the telephone, and my concern is that my body clock will force me to shut down mid-delivery - any tips Frasier?'
'Well, Bobby you have come to the right place. You may not realise but Seattle is the home of Starbucks, and you can have their coffee drip fed into your system so that the combination of caffeine and adrenaline will keep you awake and alert for the duration of your stay - why don't you blog back here later and tell us how it's going, I'm sure that me, Roz and all our listeners will be fascinated to hear about your progress'
'Thanks Frasier, will do!'
Now for those of you who have never watched Frasier that exchange is meaningless - but what do you want I've been up since 4.44 am!
