weekend = day_of_week in (“sat”, “sun”)

As a bonus this completely sidesteps the issue of what day is 0 or 1.

Until some idiot sends in "Sunday" as days of the week...

/^(sun|sat)/i.test(day_of_week)

yeah I like having an array of days that are weekend days then testing if the day is in the array. can change what days are considered weekend if we go to a three day weekend and it reads really well. I hate massive if statements
