More Calendar Plans

If you ask me, the organization and administration of our working week is wholly inadequate and extremely misguided. Only the most mindless of unimaginative drones could possibly consider the arrangement we currently endure - five days of backbreaking labor followed by a miserly two days of "rest" - to be anything other than completely worthless and an insult to civilized society. Surely a soothing and eminently productive cycle of six working days followed by three days of leisure is far more preferable? No more complaints of "there aren't enough hours in the day" will be heard when staff are allotted six challenging days in which to accomplish one's appointed tasks! And then there is a whole three days of personal time to look forward to, a good amount of time employees can use to learn read and savor Proust, get their hairy backs waxed, or even sail around the world.
To integrate with the existing heavy Nordic theme, I am thinking of calling the new work day Baldursday, after the Norse god Baldur, and it will make a nice twenty-four hour sandwich between Wednesday and Thursday. The new weekend day will be called Apolloday, and we can easily slip it in after Saturday as a sort of prelude to Sunday, since Apollo is actually a sun god himself.
Obviously, to make my idea viable the entire month of October must be erased, and a few others need to be trimmed, but this is such a small sacrifice if families can enjoy a late night Apolloday picnic without worrying about getting up for work on Monday morning

I think The Beatles already suggested Eight Days a Week. Now you are suggesting Nine Days! My suggestion would be to just quit working altogether.
