If a simple statement of fact and a recommendation not to waste your time worrying about something so insignificant knots your knickers like that, I don't think I'm the one who should be accused of having a bad day.

Just so you know, my day was fine, but I think it is highly unlikely that you really care.

In any event, since modern English does not employ a genitive case, it is quite appropriate to use the possessive form as an eponymic modifier to achieve the same result.
