There are a -lot- of proposed alternative calendaring systems out there. And some of them treat the 'extra' days as truly extra days. There are decimalized calendars with 10 days per week, or to months per year. There are calendars that are more lunar in nature (13 months of exactly 4 weeks each, plus a few extra days ehre and there), and there are even calendars proposing five 8-day weeks per month. One of my favorites is the World calendar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Calendar) which keeps a lot of the features were comfortable with, but makes it so you'd never have to replace the calendar on the wall, and uses the 'extra day' concept you have above.
