A: Well, it must be nice having your 20% time like that. Play around with different projects and stuff without having to be directly accountable or on the clock or whatever.
B: Well, you have that time too, right?
A: Me? No way, I mean, we get our sort of tasks or stories or whatever for the week, and, you know, they're sort of expected to get done, so
B: It's Saturday.
A: Pardon?
B: Your 20% time. It's Saturday.
A: ... That's totally different.
B: No it's not. It's a decision you're making. It's fine if you don't want to spend your Saturday's working on projects, but you should acknowledge that decision.
