Troper Tales: Millennium Bug

 * This troper ran the warehouse for a teeny (and now defunct), computer company, and the techs had to repeatedly point out to our "more of a manager than a computer expert" boss that Y 2 K was really nothing to worry about, so we weren't. There was some joking at the last meeting before New Years - after discussing the work orders we would be getting to after the holiday, I tossed in "provided the town isn't in flames", which got a laugh. My wife and I went shopping on New Years eve - the store was sold out of milk, bread and toilet paper - people had carts piled high with food and supplies. New Years itself was fine, though I was tempted to go down to the basement of my friend's house and pull the breakers at midnight. Unfortunately we had to go home quickly after midnight - my wife worked at a bank which promised to be open at 8am on New Year's day to prove they were Y 2 K compliant.
