i am currently an in house graphic designer in socal and one of the heads of the company had me do some sidework for an external company.. he had me create a simple run of banner ads in various sizes that did not take me too long.. what's the best way to mark this stuff on a timecard if the overall time spent was less than 2 hours? .. should i charge just one decided fee or raise my hourly since there are very few hours?

it sounds like a straight freelance job. i say charge a flat fee, you'd probably make more.

Google desktop has this neat "widget" that is a stop and start timer that you can use for timing some of your daily activities:

Also, for billing, there's this nice online billing tool called FreshBooks that can help you bill clients an hourly rate and keep track of accounting stuff.

I use it for billing web design/web hosting clients and it's pretty nice.

Thanks for all the resources, Rodney. And to AddVenture, ya I'm thinking of charging a flat fee but not sure how to base it off of. Hmm... such a small task is so difficult to determine how much to charge! haha

Charge hourly with a minimum or 1-2 hours per project
