1999 to 2000. Millennium party.
Friends Joe and Erica joined us to ring in the New Year... new century... new millennium.
(I know some will argue that actually starts in 2001. But all the cool celebration stuff was 99 to 2000. Including the Y2K fear that computers would think it was January 01, 1900, and then screw up everything from banks to plane crashes.
Kinda like the 2025 Trump presidentcy. 🤣)
Anyway. People thought there would be so much change, such progress.
Monday came and the world was pretty much the same. Into the future? Eh... not exactly.
I was on the IT management team that had to prepare for the Y2k. What a mess that was!

I remember everyone talking about Y2K as if it was the end of the world, apocalypse is nigh! But I was too young to understand what exactly was making them panic.
ReplyDeleteThe panic for the Mayan Apocalypse of December 2012 was also quite memorable... Like no one considered the possibility that maybe the Mayans didn't need a calendar that stretched that far into the future because they weren't booking appointments that far out.
