My sister works on a similar basis, and sometimes tries to see how many ‘six-minute’ tasks she can actually complete in six minutes. (I’m guessing you don’t fill out your pay claim by hand? )
Saturday & Sunday = Weedend. Monday is the first day of the new week.
You people are going to hate it when the revolution comes and you are required to use the Hex Clock.
Personally, I hate it when I set an alarm clock only to find out that it’s 12 hours ahead or behind, and the little LED in the corner is for PM rather than AM. 24 hour time is much less confusing, as are DD/MM/YY or YY/MM/DD conventions (though, like sewalk I write my dates as DDMonthYYYY.)

Na…look, as per the website you linked, it is easy:
How do I convert between standard time and hex time?
The scientific definition of a second is 9,192,631,77010 vibrations of an atom of Cesium-133. In hex time, we define one day as 2,D25,C32,D2E,70016 (794,243,384,928,00010) vibrations of an atom of Cesium-133. You can use the following approximate conversion factors:
1 hexsecond = 1.3110 (1.5216) seconds
1 second = 0.75910 (0.C2316) hexseconds
1 hexminute = 0.35210 (0.5A016) minutes
1 minute = 2.8410 (2.D816) hexminutes
1 hexhour = 1.510 (1.816) hours
1 hour = 0.66710 (0.AAB16) hexhours
I am sure this will all catch on an be a huge hit with the general public.
It is only a matter of time.
My work for the past 20 years has revolved around multiple time zones, date conventions, etc.
I always spell it out so there is no ambiguity. Eg. Please meet my flight which arrives on 20 June 05 at 20:00 Tokyo/13:00 Berlin.
It may be awkward, but if I had a dollar for each time someone screwed up on the date that resulted in at least a major inconvenience…
