The thought first came to my mind when I was drawing up Josie's workout schedule at the gym. She wanted to workout four days a week with a rest day in between workouts. This is impossible with a seven day week. You always end up having to workout on back to back days or only working out for three days. With the eight day week, we can workout Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday with Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Xoday off. we get our four days to workout and a day off in between.

We can final get that three day weekend we all wish we had. We can continue to work Monday through Friday but can have Saturday through Xoday off. Awesome! But there's more! You can finally get stoned drunk on Super Bowl Sunday and not have to worry about working the next day. People will look forward to go to church because you can party after since you do not have to work the next day. Heck, people can make party plans AT church. And, when there is a federal holiday and you get Monday off, we get a FOUR day weekend. Nice!

I am sitting here and writing this on Independence Day (July 4) which fell on a Tuesday this year. My company required me to work the day before and day after the day. That sucks! I thought about it and did some math. With a seven day week, there is a 29% chance that a holiday will fall on a weekend day. When you calculate the chances with my proposed eight day week, there is a whopping 38% chance the holiday will fall on a weekend day.
