Twind, you raise an interesting question that we should discuss: Despite the fact that I am exempt status, I am still required (for internal accounting purposes) to turn in a time sheet every two weeks. My personal policy for accounting for time has been to "start the clock" on a business trip day at the moment I arrive at the airport, and stop the clock only when I am in my hotel room for the night. So (as happened about a month ago) if I fly out early in the morning, take a meeting, then fly home at night, I count that as one long day. That particular day, I "worked" a 22 hour day.

I realize that you consultants would get shot for this type of time accounting, but what about you corporate hacks? Do you treat travel time as "work"?
