Now you have more time...
...well, you have another 1.26 microseconds in every day. The earthquake in Chile was so strong that it changed the earth's rotation speed, slowing down the day by 1.26 microseconds and also moved the Earth about 3 feet on its figure axis. (The figure axis is the axis around which the mass of the Earth is balanced, it is NOT the same as the North-South axis but is offset by about 10 meters.)

"People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up." (Terry Pratchett)
