May as well dispense with the calendar entirely and just measure time in powers of ten.
An day is about 80 kiloseconds, and a year about 30 megaseconds.
Maybe many gigaseconds into the future our descendants will learn about old Earth time keeping in school, along with Roman numerals and the imperial system.
