Also, if you need to set that time dynamically from rails, then you
can pass time as an argument to test_method,

MiddleMan.ask_work(:worker => :foo_worker,:worker_method =>
:test_method, :data => { :firetime => 60,:args => "bar"})

and in test_method

def test_method args
  add_timer(args[:firetime]) { fire_method(args[:args]) }
end
