I like this guys idea.... its the LEAST offensive. it still keeps your idea of numbers on days of weeks... but also allows for a bit of "spice" by kicking it up a notch with the 30/31 month swing.
not over worked at all. and cause its so close to what we have now... just might
work!
I declare TODAY x-useday! (tm c R pat-pending)
and as such. (being x-useday) its a day off.
BYE! I'm going home.
Chris.
