        Cool, so loosely translated 1st day, 2nd day, 3rd day, 4th day, 5th day, Saturday, Sunday?? That is amazing, confusing maybe, but amazing!

          Yeah, but it begins on the 2nd day (Monday). They say it’s because the Saturday was the 7th day in the bible (Shabat for the jews). So Sunday would be the 1st one, but it’s not called 1a feira

    Bjornsday

    It would fit the mostly Nordic naming scheme but still credit me as the creator.

        The gods that the weekdays are named after also have associated planets, so really every day is named after a celestial body already.
        Ex: Saturday is obviously Saturn Day, Thursday is Thor’s Day, with Thor being the equivalent of the Roman Jupiter, so Thursday is indirectly Jupiter Day, etc.

      Makes sense - after you’ve recharged, but before you have to prepare mentally and physically for the next week.

      I work a weird sche, 2 on, 2 off, 3 on and then the next week it flips. So every other week working friday-sunday, or I’m off those days.

      An the one hand I support this because 3 day weekends are fucking great and everyone should have them

      On the other hand, I have a feeling that would change my schedule to 2-2-4, and while 4 day weekends are even better than 3 days, I’d probably be stuck working 4 days in a row on my working weekends

    “Hiddenday”

    It would be a day locked away from everyone’s consciousness until the day’s arrival. You’d be expecting your normal 7 day week, and go to bed Sunday night. Then the day after Sunday you’d wake will full knowledge of Hiddenday and everything you’ve ever done on prior Hiddendays. You’d already have a plan and knowledge if you were choosing to go to work to earn extra money, if you’d be staying home resting just a bit more, or going out to spend time with friends or family. You’d go to sleep on Hiddenday night knowing you’d forget the specific details of what you did that day ( but that you’d have that knowledge back next Hiddenday in 7 days). You’d wake up Monday morning remembering yesterday was Sunday, but you’d have any knowledge you accumulated the hidden day prior. If you worked and are paid hourly, you’d see an extra 8 hours of pay on your payslip, and no one would ever question why there were more hours. You’d carry the same rested feeling you had going to sleep on Hiddenday night but not know exactly why. Your family would tell you how much they loved spending time with you this week, and you’d feel the same, but you couldn’t put your finger on exactly which day that happened.

    We’d all go to work on Monday thinking how wonderful it would be if there was a 8th day.

      So February 29!

      If we honored cyclical calendar - lunar calendar - rather than the antichrist calendar created by the false prophets of the false church created by the Nicean Council that excluded fifteen books from our collection of myths to further service to Mammon, at the cost of schisming ourselves from within ourselves and with the global population, these things wouldn’t be necessary. They were not the first to do this, however. gesture brutally at neolithic history.
