Hasta La Creative!

For those who bill by the hour, timesheets are the bane of their existence. While the Anomaly and Crispin dudes work out a new industry compensation model, for now agency folks are doomed to continue tracking their time. Considering this is a profession filled with creative types, it stands to reason there are some tardy people. Avenue A/Razorfish is going all Hester Prynne 2.0 on them.
