Synopsis
At the start of the week, SpongeBob is excited to work at the Krusty Krab for a week, but after the week is over, he's exhausted. He visits Sandy, but when he complains about how she never has to do any work, she explains she has lots of work to do. SpongeBob decides to switch lives with Sandy for a week (he will live in a dome full of water on Bikini Atoll for a week, and Sandy will be a fry cook at the Krusty Krab for a week) so SpongeBob can see how much work Sandy has to do.

When SpongeBob gets to the dome, he decides to rest on the first day before getting to work. However, a small leak appears in the dome. This causes SpongeBob to panic and run out the dome through the side, causing a much bigger hole, which all the water floods out of. Meanwhile, at the Krusty Krab, Sandy is reading the krabby patty secret formula, and Plankton is listening intently outside the Krusty Krab. Mr Krabs calls out Sandy's name, causing Plankton to wrongly assume sand is the secret krabby patty ingredient. He leaves to make krabby patties. Mr Krabs finds out Sandy and SpongeBob have switched lives for a week, and tells Sandy that, if she does not do a good job, she will not get paid, despite the fact that she will not get paid anyway. Sandy delivers a patty to Incidental 70, but when he tries to eat it, it disappears. Sandy explains that the patty was fitted with technology allowing it to teleport instantly into the stomach of whoever tries to eat it. Mr Krabs warns Sandy not to mix her inventing in with her fry cooking.

The next day, Sandy has just created a krabby patty, but Plankton appears, having disguised as a ketchup bottle. He says that he has arrived to steal the formula. Sandy is happy that her job has some sort of excitement in it, stating that it has been dull so far, but a jar of mayonnaise immediately falls onto Plankton. Meanwhile, SpongeBob has finally finished fixing the leak, and decides to start inventing something. His first invention turns out to be a krabby patty, and SpongeBob says that he had his old job on the brain when inventing it. He invents a super sponge, but it absorbs all the water in the dome, then the water in his water helmet somehow floats into the sponge. He runs into a river so he can breathe.

The next day, SpongeBob decides to interview some land animals. He interviews a squirrel, but it attacks him, tearing a hole in his face. He says that he'll have to put up with a lot for the next week. At the Krusty Krab, Sandy thinks the same thing.

A montage is shown of SpongeBob and Sandy doing their respective jobs. SpongeBob invents a robot, but it runs through the side of the dome, creating a leak. Sandy tries to chop some pickles up with her knife, but it rips her suit, so she has to run back to the dome. SpongeBob tries to interview a squirrel, but it eats him, leaving only both of his arms, which write down some notes on a clipboard. Sandy tries, and fails, to make a krabby patty with karate. SpongeBob tries to use a freeze ray, but he is turned into a live-action ice cube when it backfires.

SpongeBob and Sandy meet up, admitting that both of their jobs are indeed difficult. SpongeBob then shows Sandy her report, which says "Squirrels are mean". Sandy, thinking that this was referring to her, gets angry and chases SpongeBob, as the episode ends.
