I was considered “brave” and “crazy” for offering to work that shift. People were losing their minds. It was the first time I realized how gullible the general public was. I was the calm in the storm. I reminded them that air was not controlled by a computer and we would survive. It would be like “camping nursing.” Midnight -NOTHING- and people felt stupid. I’m ready for that feeling again. It was priceless.

Y2K - I worked with a good group. No one panicked. We had a lot of PBX’s and VM’s out there at that time.
What we did was turned off the ability for the users to see the year and rolled the year back to somewhere in the 60’s. We played around with the year until the time matched.
No one complained about not seeing what year it was in the systems.
Believe we started doing that the year before Y2K.
Time flys
Yes, 1997-8 at my bank.
