Imagine how much happier you’d be today if you’d never turned it back on

I worked for a major manufacturer that had been in business for 100 years.

We spent years trying to fix old programs at work for the year 2000 as the bulk of our programs used two digits to denote the year. We also made sure all our operating systems were year 2000 compliant. There was even a group of us that stayed the night in the office as the date rolled over, because they were afraid what could happen if we missed anything. I remember we had cots, sleeping bags, and emergency food. 🙂

So after all our efforts, the only problem we encounted is some retired employees had incorrect age calculations AFTER the date became January 1, 2000. Apparently we missed a small group that were classified differently.

So, not a lot happened.

@Starcade @jalefkowit Yeah, not a lot happened then - because you made it not happen! Thanks, I was at university then, so I did nothing to fix this, but I was glad there were no stray nukes and the world continued to spin as normal.
@Starcade
I did much the same. Angry at having to stay in all night and watch the celebrations from afar. After all my hard work!
