　　W: So John, I hear you and Arthur share a job, dont you?

　　M: Yes. Weve shared a sales job at Sonatech for about two years now.

　　W: Well, how do you divide up your schedule?

　　M: You know we are both sales representatives, and we take orders over the phone. When we started job sharing it was difficult, because we both worked all day Monday. I worked Tuesday and Thursday and Arthur worked Wednesday and Friday. The problem was that when I was in the office on Tuesday. I would talk to people, then they would call back on Wednesday with a question. But Arthur couldnt answer the question and he couldnt ask me about it because I wasnt in the office. So he had to ask the people to call me back the next day, Thursday. Of course, they didnt like to wait until the next day to have their questions answered.
