time and again

we log all of our time using the magic of computers. each task we perform has a work order to apply time to. we have reports that show what everyone has been doing for a given week -- the accounting guy uses that to pay us.

however, we also have to write our hours on a pink sheet and turn it in. because, you know, how can you know someone was working if they don't write the hours? or, if they write the hours, how do you know they did anything unless every task is logged?

this is supposed to be done by 8:30 am every monday. i took a monday off once and forgot to put my time in on the previous friday. i got a wake up phone call telling me to log in and enter my time.

jim took a monday off, and no one cared that he didn't have his time in. he logged in on tuesday, of his own accord, and entered his time.

hmm...
