I should think so. I was here for the year 2000 apocalypse and that was quite fun.

Indeed I am. It is nonsense though: if you're alluding to the Mayan calender 'running out' it doesn't. It's the end of one calendar period and the start of the next. It'll be about as cataclysmic as Y2K. :)

You mean I've got to work my butt off for two years to convince the MD that the computers running the accounts won't work? Beat him over the head until he agrees and then run a parallel system for 6 months before he commits to the new one? Again? :omg:

Indeed you have: should turn out to be as lucrative in 2012 as it was in 1999. (I went on holiday with a company laptop and mobile on call out rates for the entire trip and all flights paid for; just in case. Naturally it never rang - sweet).

Isn't it the end of the 5th and final "Great Year"? So actually it would be the end of the world.

Maya calendar[^] Not according to this: "Misinterpretation of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar is the basis for a New Age belief that a cataclysm will take place on December 21, 2012. December 21, 2012 is simply the first day of the 14th b'ak'tun."

Fair enough. I was going off something I read in a Graham Hancock book. I'm not sure which is the least credible out of that and Wikipedia!
