The one second between June 30 and July 1 UTC(!) is a Leap Second. In many years, it does not exist.

But this year, it does!

Let us, then, take advantage of this nonexistant second, and, in the words of a co-worker of famous Japanese novelist/copy-writer/game-designer Shigesato Itoi...
Let's pretend this second never existed and try out stuff with a freedom from what we normally do.

Skip work! Ignore your responsibilities! Everyone reading this - skip work and enjoy it! Wander around town aimlessly and for no good reason! But be quick about it!

Go to the movies! Eat fatty foods! Bother people! Break promises! Buy weird clothes and put it on! Throw out important stuff to you! Say stuff you shouldn't! But be quick about it!

Let's use this extra second to do lots of stuff we never do!
This is a good second to task, very very quickly.

You have your orders.

Note that this second is an extended midnight in the UTC time zone. In your time zone, it may fall onto different times of the day.
