The conversion rate between Time (t) and Money (m)

So the motorcycle safety classes have two ways to pay: a subsidized one ($125, holders of WA drivers licenses only, much harder to find an opening in the classes), and an unsubsidized one ($225, no residency restrictions, much easier to score a chair). I was signed up for a subsidized class at the end of October.

Today, I called to try and snag a much earlier subsidized opening I'd seen on their web app, but no dice -- someone had gotten there within the last hour and snagged it first. So I paid them another hundred bucks to get in on Labor Day Weekend.

$100 to move a limiter on my plans up by two months. I'm still thinking over that, and it still sounds like a fairly good deal. What have you paid lately to buy more time?

Kind of a stretch, but I "pay" about $100 dollars every month to sneak out of work early on Fridays (and sometimes other days of the week). It seems like a lot when I think of it like that, but on days like today when I would only just now be getting home, I remember that I really hate my job and I would still waste that money.

Shinkansen to Tokyo and back (for one day) because I had a play I was going to on a Sunday and needed to be back at work on the Monday.


And I had a fever.
