Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Why does "the decade" get different rules from "the millenium"? The first decade started in 01, right? Aren't we losing a year somewhere?
I subscribe to the "millennium began in 2000" theory, for psychological reasons. It's like when your car odometer turns over. Yeah, we lost a year somewhere, but that was 2000 years ago. Screw those people.
tommy! Your geek cred!
Screw those people.
Yeah! Like anybody walked around saying, "Hey, Happy Year Zero!"
With the chaos of converting between Julian and Georgian, and the post-dating of Jesus' birth and all, we can do a little Handwavium over the early parts of the calendar.
ZenKitty, I'm so mad you're working through your vacation. You need to not count it as time off.
I'm mad too! I worked 12 hour days for two solid weeks including weekends to prepare for *no one doing my job for two weeks* and then last week my manager handed me a stack of work for another journal that had to be done in two weeks, and there was no way to finish it all before the vacation had to start.
I have to officially take it as time off, because I can't carry those days over. But you betcha I'm keeping count of the vacation days that I've had to work. Next year I will be taking that many days off and not reporting them. I consider them stolen, and I'm gonna steal them back.
tommy! Your geek cred!
Hey, sometimes I gotta go with my gut.

Isn't that what gets you into nocount trouble?
That's a relief. Stick it to the Man, Zen.
Isn't that what gets you into nocount trouble?
Nah, that I blame on... what do you call it when you're so narrowly focused on a problem... forest for the trees or something. No wait, my boss wrote the stored procedure - I blame him.
