What's your time worth?

We're having the first truly nice day, weather-wise, that we've had since Spring first batted her eyelashes at us a few weeks ago. Naturally, we're supposed to be out of "nice" by the weekend (although we need the rain). Despite being an "indoor" kind of person, my list of Things I'd Rather Be Doing grew extensively, despite the fact that work was anything but dull.

You'll remember from Economics that this sort of thing is called "opportunity cost." To me it's one of the best arguments I can think of for finding a way to do what you love for a living--or at least as a sideline. Because your time is also worth the things that you aren't currently doing with it.
