The Relative Weekday

Everyone knows the calender week: Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, and Sat. Im sure Im not the only one who follows this but there is also the relative work week. This is the mindset where the days of the week are thought of in relation to certain events like holidays.

Last week, we in the States had Memorial on Monday which is a holiday. The following day, Tuesday, we went back to work. The back to work day is always a Monday for me, no matter what day it falls on. The same goes for the day before the weekend, holiday, or even the beginning of a number of days off like vacations. This day would be Friday. Everyone loves Friday since it signals the close proximity of a few rest days to come. A few days of personal time. This part may be just me but the day before relative Monday is always relative Sunday. This is the last day off before heading back to work.

I guess everything mainly revolves around the weekend. I have no special relative designations for Wednesday and definitely nothing for Tuesday or Thursday.
