How did you spend your extra leap-second last night?

Asked by gailcalled (54644points) July 1st, 2012

Did you fritter it away or do something productive? Sleep or party? Was this stunning event memorial or banal?

In the unlikely case that you blinked and missed this, here’s some info.

Maybe that’s why sex with my girlfriend was particularly great last night.

And her take on this?

@gailcalled Well, I’m sure an extra second would have been extremely noticeable for @josie‘s girfriend ;-)

Took advantage of the extra time to get 41 winks!

A moment on the lips, but a lifetime on the hips, as they say at obesecakeeaters incorporated.

Fixed a Ubuntu server that was unaware of the leap second and decided to explode. It was like Y2K all over again.

@johnpowell: How long did the fix take?l

jrpowell's avatar

I was aware of the possibility and had researched the fix. It took a little under ten minutes to get things working properly again.

Funny thing is I thought my Internet was down and was cursing Comcast. But I was running through a proxy on a the server that died. It took a few minutes to figure that out and switch proxies.

I burped.

I was drunk and dancing on the street with a bunch of sexy French guys.

@gailcalled @harple
Real funny :-)
Actually, we didn’t talk about it afterwards. But I know I liked it. And she said “I love you”. A reasonably good sign, I always thought.

I watched Bigfoot on Syfy expecting some good cheese, but all I got was the crappy processed stuff. I’m watching Pirahnaconda now and it is much better.

I used that extra second to kick my nightmare man’s ass one more time.

bookish1's avatar

You kicked a man’s ass in your nightmare, @WillWorkForChocolate ? I don’t follow…

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Well, it was a nightmare in which he was attacking my youngest daughter, so I kicked his ass (and other painful bodily locations) until he was on the ground. I’m pretty sure I used the extra second to kick him again.

Your most outstanding avatar.

@josie: I’m just glad the lamprey mouth cat is gone. Now I can send @WillWorkForChocolate messages again.

@WillWorkForChocolate : So you are fierce in your nightmares too, huh! Nice :)

thebluewaffle's avatar

Part of my night was spent masturbating and crying simultaneously, so maybe I used up my extra leap-second that way?

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@bookish1 Yes. One of my greatest fears is that someone will hurt my children, so I frequently have nightmares in which I must protect my little girls from pedophiles and psychopaths. Sometimes I really hate going to sleep. Didn’t I tell you I’ve got issues? :D

I thought that’s why we have leap year, to catch up on all those seconds? But depending on the time, I was either working, watching TV, or sleeping.
