For Those Full of Shit Enough to Deny Double Billing and Bill Padding

Usually. Probably not always.


Ah . . . see, you presume I have friends. And you presume they'd call me to bs during work. Projecting again.


Again, mostly -- probably not entirely or precisely -- just like said above. I did not intend to make this personal, but you have no idea how I track my time.

I do make notes when I start something and when I move on to something else. A small page of notes each day, entered into the billing system within 2-3 days. Those entries do include little notes like (-.2) or (-.1) for estimates of lost time. There is inevitably some slippage -- even more so than having to track tenths of an hour requires -- and its not a precise system, but it is an honest effort.


Never said I was, SD, but I don't buy into your world-view.

P.S. I haven't started billing yet for today.
Obviously, you and I are the only ones with any integrity and ethics here, but I do public interest work for a not-for-profit and billing is not an issue. The rest who have posted on this thread should be disbarred for the fraud they endorse and participate in.
