OMG Y2K WTF?

I remember creating most of the Y2K DR and BC plans for the call centers at the company I’ve worked at the past 25 years. While I was personally skeptical about the enormity of the event the rest of the people in the company were not, and since we had government contracts there were drills that we had to perform regardless. It was a large non event, among hundreds of call centers across the globe we found that we had to manually work some clocks and patches, reset a few antique Rockwell Collins switches, but mostly it was a big yawn at the control center and conference bridge we ran.

In some quarters it was considered a full IT/IS employment program, since many CIO’s used Y2K to push full tech refresh agendas during the years prior.
