Early morning call

Working on a global project brings me into contact with colleagues around the world - and we are often called upon to do group teleconferences that start quite early in the morning. A colleague had an early morning meeting scheduled the other day and then another longish meeting with me starting half an hour later. When we wrapped it up just over an hour after that, her mid-morning, I asked her what she was going to do next. "Get up" she told me. As the first meeting had been so early, she had taken it, and my meeting, from home. I'm still not sure whether she was serious or not but I certainly enjoyed the laugh with her. (And I'm certainly wondering about a similar strategy for my early meetings!)
