Talking about the Millenium bug..I was contracting for the National power lines company in 1999 and they were concerned about what would happen if the 'bug' hit and the electricity fell over or one of the hydro dam's gates suddenly opened and flooded the country.
Being the first country in the world to welcome the Millenium no one knew what to expect.
Long story short. My task was to manually operate the reporting systems in the days leading up to New Year and for a few days after. Just in case!!
I sat at home on the computer, recorded the readings every hour and filled in a spreadsheet then uploaded. 4 mins.
In a week I picked up over 8 grand (pounds) and was rewarded with an extra week's paid leave for a total of 11 hours work.
