-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ma Be Sent: Friday, January 02, 2004 15:29 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:28116] New Calendar!!!... I'll take this opportunity (our fellow's post below) to share a new development within my family company (SI-Tec Enterprises, Inc. - BN89646XXXX - four last digits withheld for security reasons..) as per last Board's initiative (practically ipsis literis) to be introduced to its company books shortly. In harmony with what we consider to be the most outstanding marketing logo of last century: 'Just Do It' (from Nike Co.) the Board has just adopted the following new internal time/calendar framework: UNUS (Month #1) 1-37 days DUO (Month #2) 1-36 days TRIA (Month #3) 1-37 days QUATTUOR (Month #4) 1-36 days QUINQUE (Month #5) 1-37 days SEX (Month #6) 1-36 days SEPTEM (Month #7) 1-37 days OCTO (Month #8) 1-36 days NOVEM (Month #9) 1-37 days DECEM (Month #10) 1-36 days NOTES: - Names of months come straight from latin. - Odd months, odd number of days, even months, even number of days. - Accounting statements delivered every 'quintus' - 1/fifth of a year. - Leap years (like this coming one): add 1 day at the end of the duo month which would now have 37 days. - Internal time reckoned in percentime (100 percentime hours to a day) officially as HHH.M, where M is percentime minutes. All computer systems, payroll, and scheduling are to be heretofore conducted in accordance with such frameworks. It goes without saying that the Board's decision involves outside documents to be stated thusly: 'new time/calendar (standard time/calendar)' as in: 2004 Unus 05, 95.5 %T (2004 January 05, 22:55) or, in short format: 04-UNU-05 (two last numbers of year, first three letters of month's name, two digits for day #) Weekly cycle remains as is: Sunday to Saturday (1st-7th) Finally, answering Predrag's question below, as far as Brazil is concerned we use the exact same format for the week cycle above (Su-Sa)!... Marcus PS: One of the key components of our company's motto (mission statement) is to be leaders in technology!... ;-) SI-Tec offers consulting/training and web page design services to its clients and does real estate/commodities investments. Our first fiscal year of operation turned a modest profit of 1.9% ROI (2003)... We have plans to expand this coming year to 3 or 4 employees, pending the joining of a future member's immigration to Canada hopefully before year's end...
