The Enterprise bridge crew has a social media account that’s very popular ship-wide, which simply posts whether it’s a Bones Day or No Bones Day. The designation is determined by whether Bones visits them at least once during Alpha shift, even if (especially it) he has absolutely no reason to be there.
Everyone, particularly Jim and Spock, who aren't getting their daily support/debate, is very sad when it's a No Bones Day. Few important decisions are made.
McCoy himself never uses the ship’s social media system, and has therefore never caught on. Jim once accidentally said, “Heads up, it’s a Bones Day, people!” very loudly when McCoy showed up, but nothing came of it except that his coffee rations on his meal card were mysteriously cut in half for a couple of weeks.
The actual reason No Bones Days tend to be worse is that if Bones is stuck in Medbay or too grumpy to visit the Bridge, something very bad is generally happening. But don’t tell the crew that.
