Mini rant, about nothing important, LOL, convention stuffs.

There's a J and J Photo Op for sale on ebay.

Current sale price... $562.75.

Tell me Creation doesn't have a license to charge whatever it wants for these things. It makes me ill, and the more I see it, the more I know I won't be doing another one ever again, not even for Misha. Maybe a movie will shoot somewhere nearby and Misha will be cast, and I can go stalk him for free. LOL.

Oh, and some perspective...

Since the plant was closed for the last two weeks in December, and they only let us use vacation time for the first one, the paycheck I just got was for the 8 hours of paid vacation on January 1 only. It was a little over $35.00 after they took out taxes, 401k and insurance. And that's the biggest check I saw. Most of my coworkers got checks for less than a dollar.

I don't know what the law is in the U.S., but in Canada it's illegal to sell an event ticket for more than it's printed value unless you have a really good excuse like it's for charity or something...

It's illegal here, too, but unless Creation blows the whistle on it, they'll still do it, and I doubt Creation will. I imagine they're trying to see how much people will actually pay for these things. *grumble*

Denmark too. People do it anyway, though :(

I don't understand stuff like that... I once won tickets to a Slip Knot concert which I had no interest in. Everyone was like: Sell them! You can get this much and this much! And I had to go wtf. because I'd gotten them for free. Why not just pass the gift on and make someone happy? Same thing when I had an extra Robbie Williams ticket. Someone offered me twice the value but I only took what I'd paid myself. Why the need to earn money on other people's happiness? I don't get it! The way the world works drives me nuts sometimes, I swear.
