I went to a book/stationery story to check out diaries and desk calendars today to find out how other people handled the odd-number of days in a week. Most had an extra column for 'notes' making their calendars 8 columns wide, four on one page, four on the other. This seems like cheating to me. Others had MTWTh on one page and FSS on the other. Usually Thursday flipped between one page or the other. Seems all to be a personal style. Another attribute of desk calendars is padding. How do the major desk calendar makers pad out the number of pages to make the diary seem thicker than it needs to be? By adding lined pages, calendars for future years, weekly schedules, "Resolution of the Month" pages, and in one case: a few pages of words in five different languages. Why, you ask, am I looking at desk calendars and diaries now? Because now is the time I usually get started making my for next year. It takes me a looong time to design, photograph, print, and bind my desk calendars. Much too long. And I'm Still working on Monk's Scroll!
