time - of the essence even if not used

[sergebroom]

I just spent a chunk of today filling up reports for how many hours I'd worked every day since May 16 of this year. Back then I realized that it had been some time since management had sent us reminders that it was time to fill up a report, but, since nobody had asked me why none was coming from me, I reasonably assumed that they weren't required anymore. Fast-forward thru most of 2013 up to today, with a reminder to fill up a report for what's left of the year. Good thing I keep copious notes of what I do every day. Well, they're happy now that I've sent them 7 months's worth of reports they don't need and don't read and don't miss.
