Wow, think of the money she could have saved us in 1999 with this logic!
Standard-Issue Western Girl: Yeah... I didn't really understand Y2K, and then my dad said "1999 to 2000... they might not be built for that..." But I don't get what the big deal was. I mean, they turned over to 1000 just fine. Why wouldn't they turn over to 2000?

Abacuses (abaci?) were built to be Y1K compliant.
most people in 1000 AD couldn't count anyway...
^^^ this comment shouldn't be hidden away in the comments section; it deserves main-page recognition!
^well, it's kind of true- the average person (in Europe, at least) in 1000 AD was illiterate and probably couldn't count much past 10...
Illiteracy and being able to count are in no way the same thing. One doesn't need to be able to read to be able to count. If that kind of statement was true, everyday work would have been virtually impossible.
^"everyday work" was mostly primative agriculture- they could probably count the number of chickens they had and that was it- but this is all a moot point-
a majority of them would have a hard time agreeing on what year it was anyway- different countries recorded dates differently
I love the way that in this comment section tries to make the overheard comment seem intelligent, by arguing a point that is over 1000 years old. Can we please just sit back and enjoy the overheards, and not analyze the whole statement, as you cannot analyze a statement that make little sense in the first place.
Uh... pardonnez-moi?
Richard Ivey School of Business.
Ivey students earn $2000 a week.
Schulich students earn more.
Personally I'd rather be poor and still have a soul.
Speak for yourself. I go to IVEY, and I'd rather be evil but rich and driving a Benz.
I was speaking for myself? That would be what the word "personally" indicates. Learn how to read Ivey.
I GO TO IVEY! WE SPELL OUR FACULTY'S NAME ENTIRELY IN CAPITAL LETTERS, BECAUSE WE ARE IMPORTANT!
(That's what our mommies tell us.)
Ok look. Can we stop with the sweeping generalizations here? I'm from Ivey, and I'm not an asshole. I don't drive a BMW, and I'm not driven by money. Truce?
^you sure picked the wrong faculty...
10:23... stop pretending you represent all of IVEY. There will be no truce. I speak for all HBAs when I say that we will never make peace with the future McDonald's workers (i.e. the rest of campus, save perhaps law or med school).
don't get us involved.
-med school
*sigh*... you are all fucking morons
...we will never make peace with the future McDonald's workers (i.e. the rest of campus, save perhaps law or med school).
... or Althouse or Engineering or Computer Science...wait, this is UWO not Waterloo. Forget that i even mentioned engineering and computer science, they'll be working at mcdonald's too
^ LOL.
nursing?? they're pretty much guaranteed a job... average pay but atleast they have a professional job...
You kids are all tools. I'm a arts grad, make over 60k, and work 35 hours a week. Sounds rough, huh?
^^ wow most overpaid McDonalds employee EVER
Hasn't anyone heard of Atlantis, gosh.
