Leap of Faith

So here I am at the end of another long day and I just realized it's February 29th. Which means its a leap year. Which means we get an extra day this year. A leap year is a very special thing because it only happens every million years or so.

I'm disappointed that I worked all day on Leap Year day. Why did I have to go to work? When I get to the end of this year, I'll find that I worked an extra 9 hours cause I worked all day on Leap Day. Which means that at the end of the year, my paycheck should have an extra 45 dollars on it.

We should not have to pay any taxes on Leap Day. 365 days of taxes are enough.

So I've now decided that for the rest of my life, whenever there's a February 29th I will use that extra day for extra stuff. No more leap year days spent just like all the others. We always say "Wow, I wish I had more time, I could ... blank...." What is your 'blank' at the end of that sentence? Whatever you would do if you had a whole extra day is what you should do when there's a leap year. It is in fact a whole extra day. It's 24 extra hours. It's a tax free day.

You could take every leap day from now until you die and learn to speak German, or do a jigsaw puzzle, or train for a marathon, or quit smoking. The possibilities are endless.

Now that I'm thinking about it, there should be free cake for everyone on Leap Day.

If we all stuck together on this, we could turn Leap Day in to the coolest day ever. Even more cool than Arbor Day.

Happy Leap Day everyone.

Since you worked on Leap Day I say you can take any other day off that you'd like. Tell your boss I said so! I'm sure that'll help.
