February 29th. Every four years, except for years that end in zero, unless they are divisible by four.
On the minus:
1) It is an extra day of work for which salaried people are not paid.
2) The longer you look at the word leap, the less like an actual word it looks.
On the plus:
1) Mother Nature has decided to gift us a day with a temperatures near 60, taking away many people in this hemisphere's objection to adding an extra day to February rather than a warm-weather month.
2) Lots of fun discounts out there as a single day sales giving 29% off or free meals for the 29th patron, etc.
3) According to 30 Rock, anything that happens today, didn't.
4) Pictures of leaps or things that leap tend to be either amazing or cute.
By my math, that means the day is an overall win.*
*Setting aside the birthday issue because I do not feel equipped to place having a birthday every four years firmly in either the plus or minus column.
