Where were you for the Y2K scare? It's the 20th anniversary of this crazy event! As the calendar approached the year 2000, anxiety spread across the world as people feared that computer systems would shut down. I worked at a mid-sized company with an in-house built payroll system so we were really nervous. I had to work a 12 hour night shift and do a whole lot of backup. Then, we sat like scared mice and watched the clock tick over from 23:59. Yay we didn't blow up.
