Yes.. but what charge number did you use for that time?  These days, 
those functions are most likely done by a contractor, and most likely a 
contractor who accounts for their time in 6 minute increments.  And if 
they're non-exempt, there is no such thing as "doing work on your own 
time".. the risk of a labor law penalty is too great.
