According to my co-workers today is one the days that have always been predicted as the end of the world. I explained this to my boss but she said I had to keep working anyway.
I'm not sure what the point of it is, you know, seeing as the world is ending and all.
I did a little research (and when I say “research” I mean a did a half-hearted google search) but couldn't find anything to back it up. However, I did find out that Jesus was expected back in January. If he showed up he hasn't called me yet.
I also found that a good deal of people think/believe these are the “end days” according to the bible and feel the need to explain it ad nauseam online. I’ll just assume that this is some sort of understanding that I'm missing. I've read the bible cover to cover and I can't find anything about it other than; it's going to end, someday, seriously, it is.
More importantly today is in fact some sort of holiday in Mexico that we don’t observe here because as far as most people are concerned it’s not secular enough. Although upper management did cater us in burritos today so we wouldn’t do anything stupid like leave our cubes during lunch.
I spent my time huddled in the basement on December 31st, 1999 worried about Y2K and we’re still living that shit down. But still…
come on tribulations, daddy wants to go home early....
