The vast majority of people start their work week on Monday, with Saturday and Sunday as weekends.

It makes sense to me to have Errands Day the last day of the week.

As long as all my calendars are consistent, I don't have a strong preference either way, but I agree, it is nice to see the weekend as a unit, as I tend to think of the two days as a pair and don't want them on opposite ends of the calendar view!
