A: Yes, but it's not as large as past countdowns.
Below is a small glimpse into my office cubicle.
The "6" refers to how many more weeks of work remain between me and my
annual trip to Las Vegas.
In the past, the countdown has been very large and blatant.
The current edition, as you can see, is devoid of any obnoxious font
and self titleing.
People now understand that If I'm going on vacation, it's to the
desert. (However, I will have taken more days off in 2009 for various
Lebowski-related efforts)
Oh, and that most certainly is an Optimus Prime magnet holding up the
countdown!
