Re: Today (Feb 26) IBM announcements

Interesting post.

The hardest thing to do is when they want an accounting of the various
tasks I work on in a day, while still ending up with a 40 hour week.
First it's keeping track when I have multiple accountable hours, and
the second is pro****tioning them out.

Currently I'm a regular University employee and I have in-house
customers that get charged for tasks.    But I don't need to have any
particular amount of hours accounted for (and quite a bit of time is
unaccounted for).    It's funny - most of my customers don't pay a lot
of attention - only checking to see how close they are to their
allocated time by year's end.   But Continuing Education watches
closely - their expenses aren't paid for by accounting techniques -
they are paid for with Real Money.
