Ways to Get the Most Out of Your Leap Second
6
30.06.2015
Friends, it's Tuesday, June 30, and it's time to claim your leap second.
The earth's rotation is slowing down and it's making our watches fall out of sync with astronomical time. So to fix the problem, scientists have decided the last minute of Tuesday will have 61 seconds instead of the usual 60. What to do with the extra moment? You could spend it on John Oliver's epic website spendyourleapsecondhere.com, and waste the time away with randomly selected one-second videos. Or you could text your mom, there's not enough time to call her. Or perhaps sneak another beverage into your Tuesday. We suggest asking Doug in HR to add that extra second to your vacation time.
