I hate to be so pessimistic, but, is the only reason we have “days of the week”, is so that we can distinguish between work days and non-work days? I can’t imagine that in a system where we have placed a specific value upon days – down to the fucking numerical day of the year – somehow it’s important that today is “Monday”. If July 1, 1999 had been Monday and not Saturday, the only people who benefited were gamblers and employers. Am I too cynical?
