Another chapter indeed, hope it will just go smoothly, yet it is a doubtful imperative.

I don't understand how you can be a dad and be on Reddit. Those can't exist together

Only if you are in the US, Canada, some South American countries, China, Japan or the Philippines, where the week starts on Sunday.

For most of the rest of us, it will still be the same week.

On 31st December 2017 all of the adults in the world were born in a different century to all of the juveniles. (Or 31 December 2020 if you’re of the opinion that you aren’t legally an adult until aged 21)

Except that the millennium rolls over at ...1. There was no year 0, the calendar starts on year 1, so unless the first millennium is only 999 years long, it ran from year 1 through 1000, with the second millennium starting with 1001.

January, oh January

Next week, next month, next year

So close, yet so far

The chill in the air

The resolutions we swear

January is almost here

A new year, a new start

Leaving the old, in the past

January, coming at last

This is not a showerthought, and it's not original. People have been making the "see you next year" joke since forever.

In Chile and many other countries the week begins on Monday. The last day of this week will be the first day of next year.

This is the second of this Post I've seen. A lot of people are coming up with the same Shower Thought.
