'The Information Stream Gets Corrupted Going the Other Way
>From Franklin Journier:
Geek to Supervisor -- I just don't see how we're going to finish this project on time. I can probably have the first pass of the code remediation done around October of 99, but that doesn't leave much time for testing the complete, integrated system. And I can't guarantee that I won't miss anything. Of course, that's just the critical systems; the rest will have to wait. We should have started working on this in 1996 instead of just reading about it in the industry rags.

Supervisor to Manager -- We're on track to complete the code remediation on our mission-critical systems. There may be a few glitches but nothing we can't handle in short order. Then we can tackle the secondary systems. You remember that article that you read about this in 1996? We probably should have started then, huh?

Manager to V.P. -- Our Y2K preparations are coming along fine. Hey, we've known about this since 1996.

V.P. to PR flak -- Take care of this Y2K thing with the media, will you? The IT folks say it's no problem. They've been working on it since 1996.

P.R. to the public -- The Bizmo Company has been working on its Year 2000 compliance since 1996. We are making excellent progress and are on track to have our internal systems Y2K ready well before the turn of the century.
