Could it be that on May 21st Jesus Christ will have the last laugh?

What I want to know is what is going to happen on May 22 to all the crazy people who left their jobs and have been traveling the country "sharing the news" that the world is going to end. Seriously, do they wake up the next day and go on with their lives? Do they go back home and state "ummm, my bad, thought the world was going to end, can I get my job back?"
