Help! Properly writing the date. 7-3-04 not 7-3-4!!

I have never seen this before and it drives me nuts! I have a co-worker who writes her dates as 7-3-4, mo.day 1 digit year! There has got to be a rule somewhere that says this is bad form. (And I work in a lab, so everything gets dated and I am slowly being driven insane...)
Anyone else write 4 instead of '04 for the year?
