So they nailed it with the 28 day calendar and we are stuck with this one

well yes, but 28 day months dont divide nicely into 365/366 days, so it would not have worked well.... uh, hang on. i'm being handed a note. huh. apparently our current calendar also doesnt solve this neatly at all, and is in fact a patched monstrosity more batshit than anything any single malicious person could come up with. well.

Let's go with 12 28 day months and the overhead days are universal vacation days during summer. There you go.

well yes, the clear answer is to have "days outside the calendar". this is how the hobbits do it too :)
