Time refund day is a joke and only occurs on leap day every four years. It's an opportunity to get a refund on any day over the past four years you'd rather not remember. Time refund day is the day to say, "I want a refund on my time" or "Time for a do-over."
WHY WE HAVE LEAP DAY
Leap Day, added to the calendar every four years, is an adjustment mechanism to align the calendar year with the astronomical year. The Earth takes about 365.24 days to complete its orbit around the Sun. However, the standard calendar year is only 365 days. Over time, this discrepancy would cause seasonal drift. To correct this, an extra day, February 29, is added every four years, making that year a leap year. Leap day ensures the calendar remains synchronized with Earth's orbit and seasonal cycles.
