When it absolutely, positively has to be done yesterday, but you only remembered to give it to me today, we introduce a new calendar, specially designed for the rush-rush atmosphere of software development:

       NEG FRI FRI FRI THU WED TUE
        8   7   6   5   4   3   2
       16  15  14  12  11  10  9
       23  22  21  20  19  18  17
       32  30  28  27  26  25  24
       39  38  37  36  35  34  33

1.  This is a special calendar for handling rush jobs.
    All rush jobs are wanted yesterday. With this
    calendar a job can be ordered on the 7th and delivered
    on the 3rd.

2.  Most jobs are required by Friday, so there are three
    Fridays in every week.

3.  There are eight new days added to each month to allow
    for end-of-the-month panic jobs.

4.  There is no 1st of the month - thus avoiding late
    delivery of the previous month's last-minute panic jobs.

5.  Monday morning hangovers are abolished together with
    non-productive Saturdays and Sundays.

6.  A new day - Negotiation Day - has been introduced keeping
    the other days free for uninterrupted panic.
