POETS day

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) storage
Tape backup unreliability is said to be famous. Tape backup is to data recovery what bus timetables are to real life; endearingly unreliable. It’s supposed to be because backups scheduled for Friday afternoon, POETS day, are not run because the scheduled person leaves early and fails to do it.
查得POETS的全称有以下几种:
Piss Off Early, Tomorrow's Saturday
Piss On Everything Tomorrow's Saturday
Push Off Early Tomorrow's Saturday
Put Off Everything Tomorrow's Saturday
请问本文当中是指哪个?

piss off = (UK offensive) to leave, or go away, especially used as a rude way of telling someone to go away. eg Everyone just pissed off and left me to clean up. Why don't you just piss off - you've caused enough problems already! (Cambridge Advanced English Dictionary)

-> 走开?

(it's a new one on me, but I know TGIF...)
