I'm late....

That makes sense. I did keep track of my hours when I was contracting, but i never kept track of times, just dates. Nobody ever asked for more than that from me.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.
my time sheets have always been in the form of just a day/billing code grid with space for a free form comment. So Wednesday 5h on project A, 3h on project B. But not worked on A from 8-9:15, 10:40-11:20, 13:10-14:25, 14:30:16:20, and B from 9:15-10:40, 11:20-12:05, 13:05-13:10, 14:25-14:30, and 16:20-17:00. X|
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

That's what I'm familiar with. =)

As someone who writes code for other people (now commercial, govt at a prior job); my bosses need a timesheet so they know how much to bill our customers.

The joy of Government contracts being in chaos at the moment. As a company that used to do things who now rely on others, the worst part of it we have to account for every 15 minutes, so going over to the production and doing a quick test experiment to see if thing X does thing Y are a little hard to account for. We are run by accountants, I swear! I think the best comment was from the Drawing Office Manager "We were bought out by people that talk about work but don't do it'

Hi All, Got to work late, sat down and am thinking about how to account for this. Being a dozy so & so I tend to fill in my timesheet early and put 8 hours for today, so do I do 8 hours today or 6 today and then 2 extra next week? or do I wait for the time when I have mucho work to do and just put in the time then and not claim over time? Trying to be honest about this! Opinions please, waste the time I owe or save it for the rush I can see coming (when I could accrue overtime)...

Ouch. We only had a 30m resolution at my last job and normally only track to that level at my new one which is coarse enough resolution that most nuisance items round down to 0 and we don't need to decide if a bathroom break should be charged to the project we wrapped up before getting up or the one started when we get back.

Stay and do the 8 hours. Don't submit false time sheets. I always told them I had car trouble. I was late getting in it. :)
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Before we moved offices I could stay all night (I did once). Now I can't, the security Agents will terminate anyone on site after 6:00pm!

Me too, took them 3 years to realise I didn't have a car! :laugh:

Now you have an answer to Bill Woodruff's question of what if you could time travel!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
If I could I wouldn't waste it on today, just interested to see what the opinion was.

I view the nominal forty hours per week as an average and certainly not a minimum. I may work 36 hours this week but I will work 44 or 50 hours per week soon enough. I really don't sweat it and neither do "they" as long as things get done in a timely fashion. The good thing is we are our own customer - all our work is done for internal use. That has its bad aspects but they are minimal compared to the benefits.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"
