[R] Presentation of data in Graphical format

[hadley wickham]

That is not enough information for anyone to suggest a useful plot.
For a start:

 * How many observations do you have?
 * How many difference posts/departments/tasks?
 * Are the variables nested or crossed?
 * Have you successfully parsed the time representation into something
R can work with?  Is the representation inconsistent as in your
example?
 * What is the purpose of the study?  What do you want to find out?

Maybe you should meet with a local statistical consultant to discuss
these issues in person. WARNING: you might have to pay - good advice
is not always/seldom/ever free.
