holing up for y2k

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1999.12.17

Counting down the days. I've secured the days off on the last week that I bargained for in coming to *data. Sarkuwacha and I are going to her parents' cottage for the week between Xmas and Y2K. At work, I'm the only one in the entire organization who doesn't have to be on hand for the latter.

It's weird, man. People can watch a movie where thousands of people die in a war and not a tear. Yet one collie dies .. and the entire nation collapses with grief.
