On the eve of the new millennium, everyone—except Dilbert—is making New Year's plans. While assuring everyone that the company is prepared for Y2K, Dilbert discovers that the computer mainframe's main processor isn't Y2K-compatible and all the company's systems will crash if it isn't fixed.

Dilbert questions the idea of charity and is forced to be the coordinator for the "Associated Way" charity drive.

Dilbert thinks there are too many time-wasting holidays; Dogbert concurrently convinces Congress to abandon all holidays in favor of a National Dogbert Day.
