Yes, I work for an outsourcing company so all my time has to be accounted for 
in a similar manner.  We use a call/incident tracking system so I use that in 
addition to a daily tasks report I create for myself and my manager to show 
where my time is spent in some detail, but not what I would consider too much 
detail.  For example, time is rounded to .25 hour increments and I just put a 
short phrase about each of the high-level tasks on my daily report, I don't 
have to account for every individual minute or provide details of every single 
little piece of a task.  It can still be a pain sometimes, but I'm used to it 
and I understand management's and our customers' need to see where their money 
is going.

Regards,
Brandon
