That is correct, but I was talking about the effect it has on your life. When you are in school/university you will have about a fortnight holiday during that period. It does not matter what the exact weekday is then. And the same holds true when you are above 65. In effect it is only a 'problem' during your working life. So it will happen only 5-6 times during your lifetime.
And now I am talking for men. In the Netherlands 30% of the women don't work so for them it does not matter at all.
The first of January is worse...that falls 2 out of 7 times in the weekend.
