Well said Brian . I'll tell my Boss that Friday starts on thursday !  

It remembers me a good laugh with a friend when we were working
in the Emirates , as he phoned his wife on a Friday , telling her that
this day was actually Sunday over there . Of course he was talking 
about the Day-off in the E.A.U. , but then we started talking about 
our mission planning for the next day and things really started to get 
mixed up :)
