For me the problem would be just checking in and out of "misc".  If I
forget once, then my /time in the office/ would be incorrect.

Personally, I need to keep track of /time in the office/ for my
employer.  Tracking time actually spent doing tasks planned with Org
would be nice for me personally, but as I can't currently have two
clocks running, I don't do this.
