You should consider getting a job.

Or prostitution.

Yup. A five week stretch before payday. Why did I buy that digital camera and leather jacket last week?

I'm surprised that no-one has managed to point out that in addition to five weekends, one of them is a bank holiday weekend!

Every October has 31 days, all you need for this to happen is for the first day of OCtober to fall on a friday and vola, you have 5 Fridays, 5 saturdays and 5 Sundays.
It could happen every 7 years so every 800 is a slight bit out.

Next time it happens is 2021 by the way (for october that is)

for those of us paid monthly, a 5 weekend month is a BAD thing!

You can't divide 13 months into 4 seasons.

There are only two seasons in Ireland as it is anyway - "cold and wet" and "slightly warmer and wet".

It's great for contractors paid hourly, there are 4 x 5 week months per annum, so taking 4 weeks off a year you still invoice for 48 weeks, averages out at 12 x 4 week invoices. :cool:

Hated the feckers when I was staff and paid monthly though.

Tesco pays every 4 week rather than monthly, which is handy as you get paid 13 times per year. It can get a bit messy with bills though, if loans goes out on a set date every month, this can end up being right before payday

Any shower I ever worked for (only 2 full time jobs before I went contracting) paid monthly, same day every month.

well Tesco pay every four weeks as they use a 4 week accounting period (with 5 week periods) as monthly periods are differing lengths, hence 5-4-4, 5-4-4, 5-4-4, 5-4-4 so each month is comparable easily and each quarter is also the same length.. Once you get used to it, it makes far more sense than doing things monthly as you cannot compare months without a lots of work to balance length and number of different days of the week and so forth.

meh

why doesn't every month just have 28 days, that way we could have an extra one and only one day left over.
Then you wouldn't even need to learn the song to figure out how many days in the month

It was the Thirteenth hour of the Thirteenth day of the Thirteenth month... Lousy Smarch weather

I think it's that all three happening 5 times in a month only happens every 800 years or so, or something like that. But I don't event think that's right. I read it somewhere at sometime and can't remember what it was. It was probably both intersting and importan.t

Not sure, 30 or 31 days in a month, 28 days in 4 weeks, 35 days is 5 weeks.

Every 6/7 years you have 53 weeks in a year so I doubt it is 800 years.

If it is, it's the Brits fault.

This october has 5 Fridays, 5 saturdays and 5 sundays.
