Nah. If you were really a bad person, you would have named your cat Monday.Or you might have purchased a wrist watch that can tell the time on any planet in the solar system.

Of course it'll be telling what time it is in Seattle, but it can do it anywhere!

"... a wrist watch that can tell the time on any planet in the solar system." In the not too distant future, you'll be able to adjust your watch for Venus, Earth, Mars, or two dozen outer moons.
It is useful to know when the local sunrise occurs, after all.
Mars will have time zones, of course. Most others will just coordinate for a central meridian.
By the way, if you do visit Venus, try to go to one of the higher latitude sky-cities. It won't make any difference about the temperature, but the angles of sunlight will be more pleasing.
(And don't fall for the old "Wanna go skydiving?" chestnut. It's just a joke.)
