Just FYI. If you work 9-5 you will be working 8 hours one second tomorrow.

Edit...i am wrong. The second will be added @ 6:59:59 PM CDT, or, as another poster pointed out, 23:59:59 UTC

False

Specifically, a positive leap second is inserted between second 23:59:59 of a chosen UTC calendar date (the last day of a month, usually June 30 or December 31) and second 00:00:00 of the following date.



Extra second of sleep

Nope. You'll be 1 second off for the rest of its life.
