With apologies to those whom have standard days, weekend! Four whole days without idiot manager. May they stay the fuck out of my dreams, that’s just too damn much.
With society changing away from standard working hours we really need to update terminology. We need a new term for scheduled days off, and also a term for when your days off align with the days off of people you want to spend time with. We could probably do with a term for the situation when you are unable to spend time with family and friends due to not having any overlapping time off, and for the annoying attitude of people who assume days off during the week are “holidays” and days off after night shift are open for you to do things other than sleep. Despite the number of people who proclaim we are a 24/7 society now (and they tend to be the ones arguing against penalty rates) a lot of people really don’t understand anything other than standard work hours. Drive time radio hosts are my favourite - despite the fact that they are working non standard hours themselves they really go all in on the 9-5 mythology.

Better terminology would be useful. So would calendar applications that auto send “this day is totally impossible you Idiot” messages
They sort of have to, because their audience does
