Meeting Miser measures how much money you're wasting right now : Tech Digest

If you're reading this post on your Blackberry while Steve from accounts argues with Margaret from human resources about the benefits of moving the Croydon office's filing system to a purely digital format, you've possibly just found the solution to this HELL.

Meeting Miser counts up how much money is being wasted as the brains of the office sit around a table, drawing skulls and guns on their notepads and hoping it all ends before 5.30 so they can get home on time.

It's just a little timer, one that counts up everyone's salary then generates a live cost showing how much cash is being wasted as you all sit there wondering what to have for dinner, while the barely coherent IT manager goes into an unnecessary amount of detail about the specifications of the new server system.

Meeting Miser hammers home the futility of meetings and, by extension, life itself.
