Nothing to do with Basketball
So, back in November, I was looking for some sort of part-time job that would make me even a few bucks more a month. It didn't have to be a lot of money, but a little bit more would really help. My mom mentioned in passing one day that one of her coworkers worked on the Buck's promo crew, meaning, they hand out the freebies at the entrance for several of the games each year. It doesn't pay a ton, but it's a little bit and it helps, so I managed to get a job with them. At first, it seemed great that I would get paid, plus get free parking, and I would get a ticket to go to each game that I work. I used my free ticket for the first game or so that I worked, but eventually I realized that my brother works at the bar across the street from where the games take place. I started going over there when I was done working instead of going to the games. I certainly don't need to have a couple of drinks each time I work, and I do like watching the Bucks games, but I have started making a habit of skipping on the free game ticket and going over to see my brother each time I work. He is so busy, that it is difficult to find time to spend with him. So, over the past few years as much as I would like to get to know him more, I haven't had the chance. I kind of see this opportunity as my chance to get to know him. It's really been a great experience the last couple of months. I know once in awhile he and his coworkers must wonder why I skip on a free game ticket and head over to the bar, but it is just so nice to get to spend some time with him. So, I guess my take away from this is that, as much as I love sports, it is just way more important to me to get to spend time with my brother and I am so grateful to have gotten this job not for the extra money or anything like that, but for the chance to spend more time with him.
