That is why we need leap seconds etc, to

Sure it does. If you watch the clock, time will seem to go slower.
Surely there's a standard for Universal Perceived Time.

I don't want to be late, I simply set my clocks to about 15 minutes
ahead. That would be a Leap Quarter Hour.

It also works in the other direction. If I'm expecting a package
delivery, it will always be late, the result of time dilation due to
the movement of the package. I've also noticed that the faster
someone appears to be working towards a deadline, the further behind
the project slips, again the result of time dilation and movement.
