One of my clients who has developmental disabilities was doing her job at a local convenience store yesterday when a customer who actually believes today is the end of the world told her about it and scared her. Fortunately her job coach was on the scene and helped calm her down. It hadn't occurred to me some of these folks might be in my neighborhood! I'm guessing there will be a lot of sheepish people tomorrow...although I suppose if one is really invested in the idea they might just decide they were slightly of calculation and try again later. Its the people who quit their jobs and spent their savings in preparation for today that really get me.
