DESCRIPTION

App::JobLog::Command::today serves two functions:

1. Reviewing the current day's events. In this it is completely equivalent to App::JobLog::Command::summary given an option like today, now, or whatever might be the current date.

2. Determining when you will be able to punch out for the day.

The latter feature requires the --finished option, which takes as its value the starting date for the period over which working time is to be calculated. App::JobLog then iterates over all of the days in the interval so delimited, tallying up all the work hours for the work days (see the workday parameter of App::JobLog::Command::configure) and subtracting vacation time and time worked. If you wish to use the pay period as your interval, you need to have defined the start pay period parameter of App::JobLog::Command::configure.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This command was inspired by my wife Paula, who frequently wanted to know when I'd be done for the day. In an earlier incarnation of this application one obtained it by passing in the option -p and I knew it as the Paula feature.
