Maybe there's a way of patching the uptime utility that it adds
the previous uptime of the system (since last shutdown) to the
actual uptime. I know this denies everything uptime stands for,
let's call it accumulated uptime. :-)

What makes it hostile?

Can't you wait two days more? Just 48 hours? Then you would
finish with an uptime of 555 days. Just think about how it
would be to finish with an uptime of 666 days, of course at
6:66 o'clock. =^_^=
