Is a cockroach really worth $10?

Every time I say that word in my head I hear cock-a-roach. Russian Doll is one of the finest TV shows ever. If you mention a TV show and the theme song plays in your brain, you liked it.

Today I spent maybe 10 minutes finding, chasing, trapping and freeing into the wilderness a cockroach (rare event, clean and tidy house (for a bachelor)).

My time is perhaps worth $60/hr, so the mission theoretically cost me $10

Most people will tell me that a goddam cockroach is not worth $10.

Leaving out any Jain tendencies I might have, my main mission was to remove this bug from my sight.

Society has decided what our time is worth, based on the measurable results we achieve.

But we forget the non-measurables – the ability to sleep at night knowing that cockroach won’t crawl into your mouth.
