If it happens quickly enough I won’t have to be on call this weekend or look for last-minute Xmas gifts.

Well at least you’ll be able to say in your case the Mayans were right, if slightly late.😛

I’m beginning to think the Mayans didn’t predict the future at all!

They didn’t say what world. In a way it did, for some reason I no longer consider Pluto a planet any longer, so that is one less.
YMMV

We held off ordering the much needed appliances for the WI place just in case we wouldn’t get much usage out of them. But, having renewed confidence in our solar system, I guess we will place that order.

Ok, so the Mayans failed us. What else you got? Etruscans? F\*ck those guys. I hate 'em.

There are some archaeologists who think the Mayan Long Count Calendar ends on Dec 23, not Dec 21, so there’s still hope.

Otherwise, we need to wait for around 5,100 years or thereabouts for the Long Count to recycle its odometer to 000000.

Actually, I can’t say that. I like my job and the people I work with. I just didn’t want to get out of bed the morning of the 21st; it was cold outside.

And… the world has once again failed to end on the 23rd. At least as far as I can tell.

Seriously people can we get this right!
Luckily I prepared for it not to end or I’d be scrambling this morning.
Happy not the end of the world!
