I love getting ripped off out of money I deserve >_>
Ergh.
Funny though, I REALLY should have seen this coming.
So, if you read my other blog after the edit, you'd know HOW I, my Dad, and my older sister, came to have around 200 high quality plants.
Basically the labour involved was me and my dad doing almost all of it, with my sisters boyfriend helping out as well. While she did...nothing. She stumbled into the whole situation, but helping us actually do some work woulda been sweet.
I helped load some 150 of the 200 plants into my Dads van, and out. Also helping unload my sister's boyfriends truck while I was at it.
So today we go to sell them all. First of all, we started at $10 per...like I suggested. But my Dad and sister are impatient so they knock it to $5 after about half an hour (if that). We basically just ALL sat on our asses and watched the money fly in. Though, me and my Dad went back to the house and got plants when needed, while both my sisters stayed and sold plants. (AKA, sat there and took the money, lol)
It was nice though, we sold them all. We ended up with around $700. (we kept a fair number of plants between us as well, also we had a "buy 5 get 1 free" thing that people LOVED.)
So of the $700, I got $100.
For a third of the work, I got $100.
Of $700.
...for a third of the work
Do the math, that isn't fucking funny.
This wasn't my older sisters fault, in a way.
It was my Dads, and I know it was. He believes in fairness, unless my older sister is involved, then he believes "fair" is my older sister gets the queen treatment and everyone else is treated like shit.
I was fine with giving my sister "extra", because she could probably use it. (though, not really).
But extra to me isn't giving me 1/7th of the total money, my Dad probably accepting $200 himself, and giving her $400 for doing virtually nothing but, again, stumble upon the situation. (which my Dad argued was a big reason for her getting so much of the money, but had me and my Dad not helped....in a week she'd have 200 dead plants, instead of $700, if that...I doubt she'd have even taken more then 10-20.)
200/200/300 and I would have been happy. 150 I would be disappointed, but fine with it, 100 and i'm just fucking outraged.
To put more perspective into this, and maybe explain more why I seem SO angry, I help my older sister a lot.
A lot.
I've never been paid a dime for it either. I never complained or cared, because my sister didn't at the time, or in the near future, have any money to pay me with. She's family though, so what the hell...free is fine.
But this involved money that we actually had, that I worked for, and was rightfully ripped off. It sucks.
Sorry for the huge rant, i'm just pissed off right now, and tired of my Dad always giving my older sister special treatment.
Ergh.
