    Kodak used to operate on this 13 month calendar. When I asked someone who used to work there, she was shocked that I knew about it and said that it was the best thing about working there. The original plan that this calendar is based on called for a liminal day between years for New Year’s Day with 2 days for leap years

      There is a choice between having an extra day in the holiday season and counting up the extra days plus leap days, and inserting an extra week every several years

      Adding the extra day annoys people who value weeks continuing as they have since ancient times

      Using a leap week rule makes the calendar track the seasons a little worse. Solstices and equinoxes will move by about a week over several years

      I work for a company which used to have 13 financial periods. It was great. Then they switched to 12 and we now have a couple of 5 week periods thrown in to balance the year out. I don’t know why they decided that but it’s not as good now.
