Countdown timer suitable for the office

Does anyone know of a countdown timer (preferably not computer-based) suitable for an office setting? I need one that is quiet enough that only I'll hear it so as not to annoy my adjacent cube prisoners. I'm looking for simple, simple, simple. A quiet egg timer ideally.

Thanks in advance.

I have a small digital time, "Good Cook" seems to be the brand. I'm sure I must have picked it up at the grocery store. (Found it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006MBUJ2/ref=nosim/102-0497708-7840957?n=284507)

It doesn't tick and has a very gentle little digital beep, which you can shut off with a touch of the finger. It would be easy to miss if there's a lot of background noise, but it might be what you want in a quiet office.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
