Add ability to clock out early

[kendallm]

Currently, the script sets a time block for clocking hours and then runs until that timeblock expires. I have had cases where I need to stop working earlier than expected and would still need to clock out manually.

It would be nice to have a way to kill the script and have it clock out for you. An easy route would be to handle the Interrupt Signal (ctrl+c) and clock out before exiting.

Another option would be to run the current process in a separate thread and then listen for a command from the user to tell the script to clock out early. This would be a cleaner implementation, but may be a bit more complicated to implement.

I imagine the workflow being something like:

~/D/OneUSGAutomaticClock ❯❯❯ python3 clock_manager.py -u username -hrs 2                                                                                 

Clocking 2.0 hours...

Enter command: Status
--- 30 minutes of work done, 1.5 hours of work remaining

Enter command: Clock Out
--- 30 minutes of work done, attempting to clock out
...
...
--- Clock out successful, 30 minutes clocked

~/D/OneUSGAutomaticClock ❯❯❯

I like the idea. I think your first idea is solid. Would there ever be a case where someone would want to kill the script without clocking out? The only case I can think of is if you are just messing around with the script. Otherwise, I think we could easily implement that.

Also, right now I feel like the messaging system is a bit cluttered, so I like your simpler way of showing info.

Just thinking through this, if we do have a way to clock out early from the CLI then we could optionally use a headless browser instead of a full window.

Have you ever used a tool like that? Does Selenium offer something like that?
I suspect people may actually prefer seeing the window as it reassures them that everything is working, but I'd love to hear your thoughts!

It's a flag built into selenium. I actually use it now with this tool.

If I am running the script from my server I need to avoid having a window try to pop open. Using headless mode works for that.
