It's December first
 
Just a reminder to check your watch if it has a date window...

Noticed that when I got my granddaughter to the dentist for her annual checkup. All good now until March 1st!

Ah thank you! i'd have figured that out in like a week.

Makes you think the 'no date' purists might be on to something! Sort of an ignorance is bliss kinda thing.

I'm usually several days behind, but just happened to think about it earlier today.

Boy howdy! I'm glad to see the back end of Nov. Nov almost universally sucked. There was one good thing about Nov (acquisition of cool new - old stove), but otherwise, the rest of it sucked. Good riddance, I say!

Has anyone else here seen the proposal for a "constant calendar "(for want of a better term)?
The basic idea is each quarter consists of three months, one of 31 days and two of 30 days, for a total of 91 days. The extra one or two days are tacked on to the end of the year, for an extra long weekend. For businesses it makes tracking and projecting far more simple, as the year always starts on the same day of the week, the quarters are consistent and one calendar works with just an adjustment for leap year.

Hey, fella! Before we go all crazy with the calendar, let's take care of the twice a year, one hour time change bullsheiße.

I don't see a calendar change like that happening. First, you'd have to get the whole world to agree to it. Second, can you imagine the amount of coding that it would take to adjust EVERY electronic system with a built in calendar (which these days includes cars, alarm clocks, TVs, microwaves, etc...). And then of course, watches with perpetual calendars would be useless too.
