So yesterday I did a new thing, I sort of worked. I have to say that I'm really tired right now. I'm really, really tired and I will sleep this afternoon, returning from work. I met a lot of new people at work. I will now eat and then go there again.

The accident again

Now I know about what this was. It was right before 09.00 CET and it was in South Tyrol.

Railway accident in Italy today

Hello, today at 14.00 I heard about the accident in Italy this morning. It was on Swedish radio and they said that eleven people died and that it was close to the borders of Switzerland and Austria. Makes me think it was in Lombardy or in Trentino-South Tyrol. I don't know more than that and that probably a landslide had covered the track. Now I will read more about this.

Today i will experience new things

Hello, today i will do two things. The first thing I will do is to go to a shop at 09.00 and then stay there until about 14.25. After that i will see a doctor. I will come to her at 15.00. After that I will go home again. If things work out well i will go to that shop many, many times. i will leave in about 23 minutes from now. I will try to update you on things. Right now my intention is to write about what i do in the days. Well, it's time to eat, I guess.

I'm moving

This has taken a lot of energy. I will mostly move today, since my bed moves in a couple of hours from now.

Saturday, January 23, 2010

Hello there, today I went to my sister and the man she lives with. They came to pick me up at about 12.00 and I returned home at about 22.00. I helped them to prepare a dinner and then we had the dinner and now I came home and I feel very calm. I will soon go to sleep. It was a very nice day today. I also met my aunt. She told us that our cousins will lose their jobs. Before 12.00 today I didn't do much. I woke up late, it was not even dark anymore. I went up at about 08.15. It was very cold here, -9 this morning and -5 now.

My arm hurts

Hello, on January 6 I carried a lot of heavy stuff and since then my right arm hurts a lot. Because of that I don't feel like writing too much.

New calendar reform is soon coming up

Hello, like many of you already know, I'm very interested in calendars. Therefore I will now write a little about the new calendar reform which is coming up soon, in the beginning of 2011.

In many Catholic countries this will be the most significant reform since October 1582 and in the countries which then belonged to Britain it will be most important one since Spetember 1752.

As I just told you, it will happen next year, in January 2011. A Saturday and a Sunday will be omitted. Further down here I will write about and explain the background to this decision.

So, in about twelve months from now it will look like this:

Sunday, December 26, 2010

Monday, January 8, 2011

As you can see there will be two full weeks in only twelve days and the last week of 2010, week 52, will only include five days. We will omit Saturday and Sunday of that week and January 1, 2011 will occur on a Monday.

The background is that recent research in the fields of history and archaeology has shown that throughout history we have had two days to many. The Babylonians introduced the seven-day week in about 2000 BC and then everything of course was in order. But after that, because of war, famine, epidemics, migration, natural disasters and last, but not least, difficulties for different peoples understanding each other's languages, we have come out of phase with the authentic week. A couple of years ago, the United Nations created a committee to solve this problem. The chairman of this committee is an historian from Turkey, Prof. Pazar Cumartesi. He and his committee will present their conclusion later during this month.

Since I'm interested in these matters I follow some web sites about these things and on one of those the other day I read about the suggestion of this committee. The suggestion is, like I have shown above, to omit one Saturday and one Sunday next time the year turns. So then there will be ten consecutive working days. In many countries, though, this will not be any problem, since in some countries people don't work on December 31 and in most places people don't work on the first day of the new year. In some countries, also January 6 is a holiday and that day will occur on the first Saturday of 2011, so in those countries there will be no extra day off for people on January 6.

The Holy See has made a statement about omitting a Sunday. A spokesman of the Vatican, Hungarian-born Bolond Átverés, said that this is not such a big problem since there are many other religious days in that time of the year. It would have been much worse omitting Easter Saturday and Sunday, Átverés said.

Prof. Cumartesi of this UN committee has also suggested that it's better if different coutries keep their different systems of when to pay people their salaries. In countries with a monthly salary, this means that people will have to work more without getting more money, and in countries with a weekly salary, this will mean that people will get paid once again after only five days. In the latter countries authorities and shops expect a large increase in consumption when that money comes to people's bank accounts.

Many of you probably remember the Y2K problem when the century turned. This time it will be similar but, as you remember, there were no significant problems ten years ago. Prof. Cumartesi and his committee suggest that authorities and companies immediately make a plan to prevent problems.
