Dude, you’ve got a problem

I, like many people my age and younger, am a big fan of Facebook. Unlike this guy though, I don't spend five hours a day on it (my profile, which took a decent amount of time to craft, is so perfect right now that it requires no maintenance). From TechCrunch:

A Goldman Sachs trader in the UK named “Charlie” was warned by his employer that his visits to Facebook on company time were to stop. He spent, apparently, over 500 hours on Facebook in a six month period. That works out to about 4 hours per day.

Unwisely, perhaps, Charlie posted the warning email on his Facebook account, saying “It’s a measure of how warped I’ve become that, not only am I surprisingly proud of this, but in addition, the first thing I did was to post it here, and that losing my job worries me far less than losing facebook ever could.” 

It should go without saying but I'll say it anyway: people who'd chose Facebook over their jobs are idiots. At least this isn't about MySpace though. That would be really sad.
