Hi,
I'm looking for an online tool for counting down the days to retirement for one of my colleagues.
I've searched all over the place and can't find one!
I did see one many years ago, but can't remember where.

It does preferably have to be online, not an .exe, but even one in excel or powerpoint would do.

Any hints anyone??

Cheers,
C

Use Excel, format cells to show dates, input retirement & todays date, deduct one from the other for the answer (format as a number).

Can you count above two without removing your mittens ?

I bet you're an IT manager....
and what part of that solution offers the countdown bit of it???

You obviously work in IT - get requirements, miss out most but think it's about right, cobble together kind of solution, deliver to customer in a flippant manner as if he knows nothing. Get some more budget together to rework original 'solution'. repeat ad infinitum until someone cottons on that you are actually a waste of time and money, get sacked, go on dole, fanticise about all the excel macros you used to write for the 'know nothing' business that are actually making all the money..... etc ..etc..

A man in a hot air balloon realised he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."

"You must be in Information Technology," said the balloonist. "I am," replied the woman, "How did you know?" "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is, technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip."

The woman below responded, "You must be in Management." "I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?" "Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault.

Here is a javascript countdown I have used in the past.

Save the page and then amend as appropriate.
