not last week?

I just thought about something to add to the discussion and forgive me
if I'm stating the obvious. How I think about time depends on the type
of item I'm looking at.
The problem arises from the Chandler dashboard displaying different
kinds of past and future items in a common list. To me, e-mails are
received and viewed as past items ie. this message was sent on
'Tuesday', last Tuesday. When I think of calendar events, it is
happening in the future. ie. the meeting is on 'Tuesday', the coming
Tuesday.
As a result proper nouns days of the week have ambiguous meaning.
Does that make sense?
