With the turn of the decade there's been a lot of "Where were you 10 years ago?" memes going around on social networking sites. I didn't really think much about it until this morning, where dealing with this "date bug" has given me a Y2K flashback.
I was invited to the Sun holiday party, though it was scheduled for late January 2000, because everyone was on high alert for Y2K issues. In case you're wondering...the party was incredible, and the Y2K issues were far less than expected, mostly due to proper preparations.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, and wish you all a prosperous, happy and healthy new year.
