[PLUG] Of time and spreadsheets

[Chuck Hast]

All I needed was Time worked rate and amount billed.
That worked, since timeclock already does all of the
other calculations all I do is move the duration from
TimeClock to the invoice, now I will modify my invoice
to where it can handle the time rather than my having
to convert it to decimal
