special handling

The truth is: I should be making more money than I am making right now. I bust my ass for my dad, I showed up after throwing up two days straight, and having a root canal and went to work. I work faster than the other guy who works with us. I get shit done. I clean up. I am nice to all the clients. I try to do everything that will make us money,

why don't you leave your father's place and go work for someone else? who'll give you less personal BS and pay you better and you'll be earning what you're worth? i know sometimes people get roped into things because of personal obligation, but after a certain point i think you should be able to go, "hey fuck this, i need my OWN life!" and leave it. just think of it this way: if you make more money, you can get this "place to live that cannot be taken away from [you]". and that's a good goal to work towards, right? i understand how valuable that is from being moved around a lot when i was a kid, too... and i value it just as highly.

good luck to you.

reasons not to leave my dad's company: he demands (as much as I do) respect for me on the jobsite. he pays for my personal car to get fixed when need be. he pays for my school (so that I can get my electrician's license) and makes the work day fit that schedule. and... he's my dad and he's not going to be around that much longer I don't think and he's really only been proud of me for this (working with him) in the past few years. also... i don't think that another place would pay me more, and i don't think that at this time in my life (due to all the chaos) i am ready to start a new job, nor am i ready to deal with all the bullshit that comes along with guys who are uncomfortable or unfamiliar with girls on jobsites

besides, if you stay you might inherit the company right? I really hope all is working out for you...
