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'm not against doing and paying for these kind of things (I've done it in the past) but there has to be some sort of limit. The money needs to be at least resembling a fair deal in terms of what you get and what the money goes to. I realise that we spend money on a lot of unecessary crap or just pay overprice in generel but... these are not things. They're people. What freaks me out is that someone crazy enough to pay this amount of money for this is even allowed close to the guys. Also the Creation team is greedy as hell. It sucks that it has to be so that the rich get richer in all ways and the little fan who deserves it the most is stuck in back row of things.

Wow, I'm such a bitch tonight! And kinda judgemental too. Need sleep, lol.

Anyway, I'd go to a con for the con experience at this point but I'd probably opt out of stuff like this if those were the prices I'd have to pay. If so, spend the money on an a great night out with fellow fans. Now that'd be worth every penny, I'm sure!
