    Bad news: this has nothing to do with timezones, leap days nor daylight saving time. Honestly, leap days would be worse because they wouldn’t be part of the 7 day week

      It’s accounted for just like any other leap year, add it to the end of a month as a universal holiday. Most calendar models make it July 29. It’s also worth noting that this is actually 364 days, and a single day at the end of the year is a universal holiday.

      Edit: I think leap years should be at the end of the year too for simplicity.

        That would just be new year. I’ve already have a list ready for how to name all the months, so we don’t fuck it up like September being the 9. Month again.

        Which breaks “day of week = day modulo 7” if every month starts on Monday and not every month has the same number of days

          Look, short of changing Earth’s orbit, something’s not gonna line up no matter what you do. Extra-weekly days are as good a compromise as any in my book.

      Just make them holidays, everyone works too much anyway, and it’s just getting worse for no reason.
