If you break it down into mathematical terms two days is 48 hours. 48 hours after Kevin's shift, which is on a Monday, it will be Wednesday.

Your may be confusing "Y is 2 days after X" with "2 days between X and Y"

What day is two days after Monday?
> Monday [1][X] = Monday [Tuesday] [Wednesday]

X is after Monday and there are 2 days between Monday and X, What is X?
> Monday [1][2][X] = Monday [Tuesday][Wednesday][Thursday]
my post helped --> thank me!
don't thank me --> my post = what the..??
