Times are tough for workers. And that news makes them appreciate even more what they have. The two share a job. But it hasn't always been easy. Anna was on the fast track for a big firm and after she had her first child she really felt the frustration of not being home. She did stay home, but found that full time mommy-hood was not a perfect fit either. When she got a full-time job at a university, she noticed that she worked really well with another mom, Meghan Gosk. <br /></p><p>The two hatched a business proposal which would allow them to share their job and each work part time. They used their business school background to write up a detailed plan, and then managed to convince their boss. The two talk with Dick Gordon about just how the arrangement works.</p><ul><li>Music in this story: "That's Cool" performed by Al Hamme and the Swing Street Jazztet for the album Potpourri<br /></li></ul><h4><a class="addbtn" href="http://www.publicradio.org/applications/formbuilder/user/form_display.php?form_code=608cc948ba9b">Contact Us</a></h4><h4><br /></h4><h4>When Enough is Enough</h4><p class="imageleft"><img class="image-left" src="resolveuid/7c625dbf283500a3db905fa0b322b418" alt="wmazzocco-CROP.jpg" height="100" width="100" />Bill Mazzocco<br /></p><p>President Obama has been on the road talking about potential changes in health care. We are also talking about changes in health care - from the bottom up. Yesterday Dick spoke with <a href="resolveuid/625cdda315350b1cea3c9acae78156a7/view">a nurse who is using new technology</a> to help patients after they leave the hospital. Today Dick speaks with Bill Mazzocco. Bill Mazzocco was a nurse who was fed up with not having the power to help his patients the way he wanted to. So he became a physician assistant and was on track to go to medical school. But a conversation with his daughter persuaded him not to go back to school again. She reminded Bill he was already helping people doing the work he was doing. When Bill became a patient himself, he realized how true his daughter's words were true.</p><h4><a class="addbtn" href="http://www.publicradio.org/applications/formbuilder/user/form_display.php?form_code=608cc948ba9b">Contact Us</a></h4><br /><br /><p><br /></p> Thu, 18 Jun 2009 05:00:00
