Just how many metric hours does April 1st last?

If we go to metric months can we just do away with it?

You raised two thoughts in my mind:

I'm surprised lawyers haven't converted to metric time. One would think they'd love to charge 100 minutes in an hour vs. the normal 60.

You probably irked a few Trekkies whose calendars are set to Stardate.

Here's my Solution to measuring time in general:

13 Months a year of exactly 4 weeks (28 days)

That's 364 days accounted for

So we add a new month to the calendar. Let's call it "Midsummer" and stick it in the middle of summer. That will be when most of us take our vacation. Northern Hemisphere summer. Sorry Australia...New Zealand, et al. Sucks being you guys but you are at the bottom of the world and so you take your vacation in mid-winter.

That leaves one extra day - two on leap year.

Call that extra day New Year's Day and it's a holiday for all. On leap year, we get to celebrate Leap Day as well over a two-day period. We get extra drunk those years.

Now we have a symmetrical calendar. The first of each month will always be on a Sunday. The second of each month will always be a Monday, and so on. New Year's Day and Leap Year Day are their own days.

I think that's the way to do it. Let's do it.

I would have preferred Wentworth, but that’s just me. ;’)

It’s about frikin’ time we moved to metric time.

It is also a good time to tell everyone I saved $2500 on my health insurance premiums. Thanks Obamacare.
