Eightday

Eightday

aka Unionday, aka Dayeight

As a standard Union Week has Ten Days instead of the traditional seven days Terran  Humans use. Also the naming of the Weekdays has changed. While many Terran-Humans still use the traditional names: Monday, Tuesday etc. [1]The official begin of the Union Week starts with Oneday (same as Monday) Oneday is the begin of the Week, while Zeroday (Sunday) is the last Day.

 EIGHTDAY (or Eightday, DayEight, or Union Day) is the official begin of the 3 Day Weekend.

Some government entities such as Union School start their weekend on Unionday aka Eightday. Most Union businesses are open. There are no regulated working days, opening or closing hours and no federal laws regulating working hours or weekends. There are some societies with local laws regarding these matters.

It should be noted that Eightday is the traditional Vaccu Ball day, where Galactic League Games are played. [2]



[1] Traditional Terran Time references are called OTT (Old Terran Time) There have been several attempts to reform Time keeping norms within the Union and the latest one gained 53 % of the Votes at the Assembly..An attempt to make it a Union Wide vote failed as there was no interest.

Official Union Time is called OST (Official Standard Time) but it is really only used at the Assembly on official documents. The use of OTT still prevails even among non human members.

[2] This can result in business closings, reduced services and packed bars and game arenas especially in communities where Vaccu Ball is almost a Religion ( such as The Bridge)
