    Contractor wage counter

    I was just discussing this today.

    Basically the concept is thus:

    whatever your daily rate, translate it to cash. And then imagine having a pound coin placed on your desk at the appropriate interval by the client. (about every sixty seconds I guess.)

    Of course not practical, but a nice desktop app to start in the morning with animated 10p coins entering a piggy bank every few seconds (the rate would be determined based on your daily rate and hours), would be quite a pleasant sight...

    Can I get one that drops in 5 grand note bundles every few seconds?

                I have one that you activate when you go to toilet. When you come back it tells you how much that was worth

                  SalaryTimer has a built-in PooTimer if you want to be really accurate with your calculations...
