Completely irrelevant to the last item, but what might be the context of that calendar? What unites these places and regions? Seems very random to me, 3 scandinavian capitals, a borough of New York City, a german island and a region in the south west of England.

The extra Sunday in late October just happens to be the date that Europe goes off summer time, falling back an hour. Decent bet somebody has been doing date math in local time or worse yet, computing a calendar by adding 24 hours repeatedly.
Addendum 2025-08-22 08:08: The good news is they've inadvertently invented the Monday-less week. Regardless of language, I think most of us will agree that's an improvement.

Haha, good catch!

could be the names of conference rooms or something similar

90% sure that calendar is some vacation tracker for different offices and 27th of October is a company-mandated day off, so they just marked it as an extra Saturday, zero WTF.
My company has Monday the 10th of November marked as Saturday, because Polish Labor Law says you have to give an extra day off for every bank holiday falling on Saturday and 1st of November is a Saturday.

It's apartments of a boarding house, the style of each apartment is inspired by one of those places.

My guess is the locations of offices, maybe the spreadsheet is daily totals of some per-office quantity.

At least the AI admits its content is broken.

Is it Monday-less, or Friday-less? I suppose when we take Friday off, we always say something like "Today's my Friday" on Thursday, so that would suggest Monday-less is the preferred answer. However, is there any day more Monday-like than the first day back after a 3-day weekend?

Housucops are bad, but waifucops are worse...

If the anagram thing is repeated, I think we have multiple cop-outs occurring, and a pity that octo-pus is not so written.
Admin
Wednesday is "doctor's sunday", and: Where finda housu? Where finda housu? Ask cops!
Admin
Well, the first letters of each word spells out OBSKNC which is an anagram of OCTOPUS

Coincidentally, Fri Oct 31 happens to be a holiday (Reformationstag) at the location of that place. So there is actually a "Friday traded for a Sunday" - it's just not Oct 27.
