We'll I guess the info wasn't valuable to your manager if he didn't notice for a year. That's just plain bad management. It was valuable in the organization I was in that required it. It was used to bill customers, as well as to estimate the time it would take to complete new projects. I definitely get the pain of everyone that needs to turn in time cards.
