No facebook = better stuff to do

It has been more than 40 hours since I first saw this message from Facebook:

Account Unavailable

Your account is temporarily unavailable due to site maintenance. It should be available again within a few hours. We apologize for the inconvenience.

And because of it I still can't access facebook (I can't play mafia wars!!! aagh). But instead of dwelling on it this made me realise how much time I spend on it when I could have used that time to do better stuff. For the past two days I've been cooking my own dinner and was able to clean some parts of the house and reading again Terry Pratchett's Small Gods. These are some of the stuff I take for granted now because I think I have no time when in fact I just choose to spend it somewhere else but will less satisfaction

So what has this experience taught me? One, that at least multiply is more stable than Facebook. (haha), two, that sites like facebook enjoin you to waste your time on them so that they get the airtime to pull in advertisers but ultimately leave you nothing but the small fulfillment of doing nothing worthwhile.

So i guess from now on if I do get my facebook access back, i'd just check the relevant stuff from my friends and then do the stuff i want like reading a book, touching up on my computer skills - and if time allows do some more mafia wars. hahaha.
