    I’ve actual been saying this for years for this exact reason. God forbid we not be able to divide a year into clean quarters.

      Three months and one week still seems like a clean quarter to me.

      Alternatively, if we really want to stick to the three-month quarter then we could call the extra week of each quarter an off-week or save it all for the 13th month of the year since nothing really gets done during that time anyway.

      But if a year doesn’t have quarters, how will Wall Street judge if a company is doing well?

      You poors never think of how your ideas affect hedge fund managers.
