Peter always fi nds the time to do everything. True or false?

It’s a man’s world.Peter and his partner, Susie, live in Canterbury with their two
children, Oliver and Jenny, and their dog, Ben. Susie’s a lawyer
and works in London. Before the children were born, Peter
also worked in London. But now he doesn’t travel to work; he
works from his home offi ce. That means he can do his work,
look after the children and also do the housework. Well, that’s
the theory. Sometimes he needs some help. Then he calls his
mother or the childminder.

MY JoB For lIFE?
W hen I was young, I wanted to be a hairdresser. My uncle lived on a farm miles from the nearest town, and when we visited him, I used to cut his hair. My sister always laughed and said it looked so funny, but it was fi ne for my uncle. He said it was only the sheep and
my co-workers were quite friendly, and when I left to go to university, they had a little party for me and gave me a lovely pen as a farewell gift.
As a student I had a variety of jobs in the summer holidays. I worked in an offi ce, in a restaurant, on a farm (not my uncle’s), at the airport and in a button factory. Yes, in a button factory. I can tell you, I never wanted to see another button again after that! The jobs were all a lot of fun, and I met some interesting people, but the money wasn’t all that good. It was fi ne for a student, but I couldn’t

My employer didn’t have any work for me in the company offi ce, so in the end I had to quit my job. It wasn’t easy to fi nd another job. In fact, I was out of work for nearly a year. Then an old friend from university called me one day and asked if I was interested in working for him. It was still engineering work, but there wasn’t so much travelling to do, and I could also work from my home offi ce at least two days a week. I didn’t need to think about it for too long. I said ‘Yes’ the very next day, and I’ve been working for him now for
