Years are set as 360 day intervals. A month has 30 days, no more, no fewer. That’s 5 6-day weeks (and “hump day” can get humped) per month.

Major holidays are on days 0, 90, 180 and 270. 45, 135, 225 and 315 are not federally-recognized holidays but people still tend to mark the occasion with a nice family dinner or by visiting with friends.
All leftover time not accounted for with this system is allocated to dogs since they don’t live long enough under the current rules.
