  • Yikes ! Seem To Have GAINED Extra Day This Week

    From c186282@c186282@nnada.net to comp.os.linux.misc on Sat May 16 03:29:17 2026

    I do remember DOING stuff, mostly working on a computer
    app that wasn't performing as expected, each day.

    Yet I became convinced Thursday was Friday and Friday
    was Saturday.

    Glitch in The Matrix ??? :-)

    Old age.
    Since I don't 'go into work' it is pretty irrelevant WHAT the day is. So
    I don't bother to remember it

    If I need to know the computer will tell me

    There is nothing a fleet of dispatchable nuclear power plants cannot do
    that cannot be done worse and more expensively and with higher carbon emissions and more adverse environmental impact by adding intermittent renewable energy.

    I never used a calendar until recently. There is a volunteer open lands project that is recurring on Wednesday afternoons so I set it up in Thunderbird to pop a reminder. I also walk dogs for Animal Services but
    that's not scheduled but whenever I show up. The dogs don't care what day
    of the week it is. Monday might be an exception. That's when a vet visits
    to spay, neuter, and fix any problems so they may be a little groggy.

    When I was working shifts (morning, afternoon or night) I often lost
    track of the days, and missed the day to return video tapes to the
    rental club.

    Yea, but I'm retired now. I really DO seem to remember
    doing stuff each day, yet would up with an extra day.

    OLD days, I'd come in probably 7 days ... tweak the
    servers over the weekend without anyone interfering
    or complaining. Easier for it all to blend together
    back then.

    I'll blame The Matrix :-)

    Guess an EXTRA day is better than a LOST day !
