Well, your comment qualifies for LOL🤣
“I just thought ‘Oh no, I don’t have any LOL folder prepared for June 31!’”
No big deal. We’ll just do two on the 32nd.
But… I don’t have ANYTHING queued up for the 32nd!
I think lots of things probably happen on June 31… for instance, that’s the night of the disastrous RAF bomber raid on Germany in 1943 in Len Deighton’s Bomber. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomber_(novel)
June 31st falls on a Zeepsday this year, right?
One place I worked, we had June 31, June 32, June 33 … It had to do with sales promotions, and it was an expensive product. We would give the customer a couple extra days in the month to make the sale, and count a June 32 sale toward’s the sales rep’s bonus.
A coworker of mine did that once, trying to run an end of the month report one September and couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Took me a minute to see she was running it for February, and had typed in 2/30 as the end of the month.
@ Arthur – AOL should have waited a month. The characters in Pogo once proposed a calendar featuring a “whole year of solid Ocrober”, meaning that Christmas would be October 86th. Years later they repeated the proposal, managing to “go around the Horn” with it: New Year’s Eve would have fallen on October 457th.
Happens to me all the time – I post to my blog on Wednesday night and I am suppose to write the post on Tuesday (my rule) – tonight, Wednesday, at 11 pm I realized as I do most weeks that I not only have not written anything, I have no idea what to write – which leads to long wandering posts on what may or may not be organizing.

http://www.eternal-september.org says that “Today is September, 9070 1993, the september that never ends”. If you don’t understand, there’s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September
