The name is turning out to have more pizzazz than the event. That is a different enough little combination of letters and numbers that if you had thought about it in time you may have been able to copyright it. Boy, if you could have done that it would make all your internet investments pale by comparison. Speaking of investments, many writers and experts are advising people to call and check their bank and other balances in December and again in January to make sure there hasn t been an Y2K event that messed them up. My employer handles 401k benefit plans, and other benefits, for many Fortune 500 companies.
Employees call in and make changes by phone.
Due to the nonsense being propagated in the media, none of our 10,000 employees is to take off between December 15 and January 15. As if that isn t bad enough, we will also be forgoing our usual holiday and working a full day on New Year s Eve. We, and millions of other people and companies, are facing the same abnormal workloads due to this near hysteria surrounding a simple calendar change that we go through each and every year. OK, I ll grant you that there are going to be a few glitches here and there because someone has been asleep under a rock for the past five or so years. I will never learn.
