Anyway, if my manager does not approve my time card, the system emails Me about it. Not my manager. So, I then have to forward the email to him to ask him to approve the time card.

I usually just BS it. Accounting and everyone else knows I BS it and they are totally ok with it...but yet I still have to do it. A yearly salary would be a nice way to get rid of the paperwork, but I'd end up getting a pay cut in the long run.
When I worked in private sector, I did weekly time sheets accounting for time down to the 0.1 hour. It was terrible.
I've since moved into public work and the timesheet process is a breeze, but obnoxious. I just enter 8 hours a day across a single billing code, yay. The pain is the system is about 20 years out of date and relies on too many eyes in the review process.
