--- Comment #1 from Chris Atkinson <cwa at pipeline.com> ---
I do not believe that is how systemd.time works. As is noted in the man page:

"Calendar events may be used to refer to one or more points in time in a single
expression. They form a superset of the absolute timestamps explained above:

           Thu,Fri 2012-*-1,5 11:12:13

The above refers to 11:12:13 of the first or fifth day of any month of the year
2012, given that it is a Thursday or Friday."

I read this as saying that only days which are both Thurs/Fri AND 1/5 would be
included. I tested this by creating a timer which included "OnCalendar=Thu,Fri
2015-*-5 11:12:13". I then started it on Thur 2014-12-31 and ran "systemctl
list-timers", which showed the service would run on Thur 2015-02-05, the next
day which is the fifth calendar day of a month and a Thursday.
