    August 2014..............

    The only time you will witness this phenomenon in your life

    August 2014

    sun mon tues wed thurs fri sat

    1 2
    3 4 5 6 7 8 9
    10 11 12 13 14 15 16
    17 18 19 20 21 22 23
    24 25 26 27 28 29 30
    31

    Next year, the month of August will count 5 fridays, 5 saturdays and 5 sundays

    This phenomenon occurs only once every 823 years.

    So for people who work weekends and get double pay, they should get a bit extra in their pay packet that month. Just thought I'd share this bit of info

    Indeed! I remember seeing this same thing being posted in 2011 and I am fairly sure that fewer then 823 years have passed between 2011 and 2014.

    According to that site it doesn't happen at all, because 823yrs later in July, it's 5 Saturdays Mon and Tues, so will August 2837 be any different and what happened 823yrs ago, where we using the same calender back then.

    That can be trouble for some, 5 mondays = 5 sickies which will blow the entitlement for the full year in one month.
