Note: Just my personal preference. I also have a random interest in calendars for some reason.

I've been working recently, but not in the traditional weeks of Monday through Friday, but in a work week concept very similar to the Discordian Calendar.

If you want to know what that calendar is, go here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordian calendar

The calendar has piqued my interest because it neatly divides the year into 5 weeks, with 73 days each.

Sweetmorn, Boomtime, Pungenday, Prickle-prickle, and Setting Orange are the five days of the week. The year always start at Sweetmorn. The five months are Chaos, Discord, Confusion, Bureaucracy, and (the) Aftermath.

Every week, I will work for 3.5 days.

I don't work on Setting Orange, and will only work halfway until 1PM, on Prickle-Prickle, or if needed I will work all the way I will work until 5PM for Prickle-Prickle. That will be 28-32 hour work week for a 120-hour long week.

Just for an experiment I would like to see it work out. One will basically be working 23.333% of a 5 day work week, or 26.667% if one works for the 4 days straight, versus the 23.809% on a 7-day work week (assuming 40 hours a week of working), or 26.190% of work for 44 hours work (assuming one works halfday on Saturday). Honestly, not a lot of difference, and I think a 5-day work week would very well be feasible.

Some example dates:

2022, December 19th (Monday) - 3188, Aftermath 61st (Pungenday)

1969, January 31st (Friday) - 3135, Chaos 31st

2020, February 29th (Saturday) - 3186, Chaos 59.5th (St. Tib's Day) (Leap day has it's own dedicated day)

Y'know for a religion that is about chaos the calendar is very very simple and easy to follow and observe, I'd argue Gregorian is a much more chaotic lol

Honourable calendar reform mentions

Here are two calendars which I think are kinda cool

International Fixed Calendar: 13 months neatly divided into 28 days. An extra month, Sol, inserted in between June and July. Leap Day is on June 17th on the Gregorian Calendar, a holiday at the end of the year (Year Day).

World Calendar: January, April, July and October get 31 days, the rest get 30. Leap Day occurs at the end of June, and a holiday "World's Day" after December 30th

Alright, that's all for today, see ya! Next fortnight I will be discussing something else I guess. Maybe my workflow for making music or something unrelated idk.
