I work in a fairly traditional office environment doing a typical nine-to-five job. I like my job, but it's annoying that my commute to work takes an hour and a half each way and most of my work could really be done online from home. But my boss doesn't seem to trust that we will get any work done if left to our own devices, and everyone in the company has to clock in and out every day. It's frustrating that they feel the need to monitor what we do so closely instead of judging us based on our task performance, like most companies do these days.
Jo
I used to do a typical five-day week, but after I came out of my parental leave, I decided that I wanted to spend more time with my children before they start school. After negotiating with my boss, we decided to cut my working week down to a three-day work week. This of course meant a significant cut in my pay too, as I'm paid on a pro-rata basis. I've since noticed, though, that my workload hasn't decreased in the slightest! I'm now doing five days' worth of work in three days, but getting paid much less for it! I find myself having to take work home just so that I can meet the deadlines. It's wearing me out trying to juggle work with looking after my children and my family, but I don’t dare to bring this up with my boss because I think he feels as if he's made a huge concession letting me come in only three days a week.

Hi Aziz! Are you there?
Hello? Hello?!?
Hi! I'm here! I'm here.
Good. 
What's up, Neira?
Would you like to meet for a coffee?
Yes! When?
I'm working now, but I finish work at five. Maybe at 5.15?
That's difficult for me. Can we meet 30 minutes later?
OK. Where?
The Blue Café is nice. I love the tea there. 
It's closed on Mondays. Let's go to Rocket Boy. It's new.
Is it good?
It's very good!
Where is it? I don't know it.
It's next to the school. See you there?
See you there at 5.45!

All right, so I've divided up the tasks among the three of us planning this event like this:
@Jen: make guest list, schedule social media announcements, arrange room set-up, organise musicians
@Ed: book catering, send out invitations, design posters, book speakers
@Mike: reserve rooms, design invitations, write and publish blog post, get emcee
But please don't feel like we need to stick to this. If you prefer to do something else, feel free to say so.
Yeah, I was thinking, as you are project leader @Mike, maybe it's best you make the guest list? I've got experience in graphic design so I'm happy to design the invitations.
@Jen, do you mind designing the posters too? I'm not very good at designing.
Sure, it'll be fun. If I take the poster design off you @Ed, do you think you can organise the musicians?
Absolutely, I know some really good musicians that do events like this one. And I also know a really good emcee. Do you want me to take over getting the emcee too?
@Ed I actually already have an emcee in mind, so I think I'll handle that. I'd appreciate it if you could write and publish the blog post about the event though.
That's not a problem. I quite enjoy online marketing tasks.
If that's the case @Ed, do you want to schedule the social media announcements too?
I can do that ... if someone books the speakers.
I'll book the speakers. And since I'm making the guest list, I should send out the invitations too. @Jen, are you still OK with arranging the room set-up?
Yes, let me do the room reservations as well.
Good idea. That would work nicely.
