Y2K

Weird day at work. I arrived for my 9am shift to find the clocks reading 8am on my phone and computer. A co-worker said "Oh, it must be the end of daylight savings" and I trusted him because he was Australian. It turns out that software programs, computers and mobile phones have all automatically switched off daylight savings... one week early. Chaos followed all day at work; the documents we need to send out to the store instantaneously would only send after one hour. Then applications started to get stuck, and it seemed like every other call I needed to appease an angry salesperson. To top it all off, I think about fifteen people called in sick today, so more calls for the rest of us! I made it through, whew.
