    regarding day change, you could also just have it change at UTC midnight and the entire planet bongs at that time if they’re awake.

      Bank holidays would be really awkward. You start wort at 23 and the next day is off so you would just have to work that one hour.

      Office workers could probably move hours around. It would get complicated for shift workers though. Paying overtime for work on holidays?

      Yeah. I figured the day-of-the-month change should definitely happen at UTC midnight. I kindof like the idea that a day of the week lasts from before I wake up to after I go to sleep. (Or at least that there’s no changeover during business hours.)

      But hell. If you wanted to run for president of the world on a platform of reforming date/time tracking but planned for the days of the week to change at midnight UTC, I’d still vote for you.
