The main thing I learned in this article was this…

> Since the work week starts on a Monday usually people schedule it Monday to Monday.

I wonder if that is really true? I've operated in technology on-call rotations for nearly 30 years and have never done Monday rotations. In our team right now we rotate on-call on Wednesday's at 12:00 PM CT, which works really well. Seems close enough to Tuesdays, and maybe better.

Same wins that are highlighted.

> - Better for Holidays
> - Better followup of weekend issues
> - Better for weekly tasks

The worst day I can think of would be Friday's with Monday's a close second.
