Amen, God help us Focus today, help us not be distracted with all the things that we would rather be doing before the winter comes, and we got to do outside.

But instead be present right now at your feet.

We love, you have a stress.

You you're not my man.

So I pretty much started working as soon as able to get stuff for my family and I grew up watching my siblings all work and work really hard.

And so, as soon as I got my first, real job when I was fourteen and I was at soccer, referee soccer referee is not really fun.

It's basically a glorified babysitter this ideal parents as well and it takes and classes and cost money to be able to make money, which know 14 year old wants to do.

But I started working as a soccer ref and my parents were willing to get me where I needed to be and my siblings were able to bring it to the game.

So I needed to be in.

So I so I had my first job but pretty soon.

I wanted a job that we actually paid more and treat me, not like a child and end.

So I started my own little business and I was doing wedding videography, which I thought was a word, but apparently I made it up at some point but no video ography.

People would hire me to film their weddings as a 15 year old.

Which is stupid.

Don't hire 15-year old film your wedding.

And now that thinks I am, I trying to attract if that would hire 15-year old to film their wedding like the most important day in their life with their spouse.

And they want a fifteen-year-old to document.

It makes no sense.

And I was using a computer that should not have ran Adobe on it.

And I had a license of adobe that accident had actually had and everything around.

Working this job was about me, wanting to work for myself and make like $400 for a wedding, which is why people are hiring me because it was cheap, but it wasn't good and Anyway, I had several gigs and people were hired me and not realize how stupid it was, how much pressure I put it on myself.

And so I got out of that job and said, I'd never want to make videos over again.

Just why we ask Carolyn if he cuz I don't make videos anymore.

Yes.

I know how she but.

No, I won't until after I did that and I got my first real job who actually had a boss.

And so this was at a bar and grill called Milwaukee Grill in Wisconsin and my sister and my sisters.

She at one point had a boyfriend who was the owner owner's, son of this restaurant.

And so, she started getting this job at a restaurant and she pretty quickly was like, she had to skip all the steps because she was dating the owner's son.

And so she don't have to start doing the dishes.

So you just start like, higher up all the money.

She was bringing home.

And then my brother 3 years older than me.

He got the job from her and all the sudden there was this reputation at the restaurant.

They hate Petrie's hire them because they're honest and they work hard and so are they want to get a job?

My brother's at this restaurant and I wasn't pretty enough in.

So I had to start at the bus boy.

Starting as a busboy.

The hard job, pretty much.

When you're the busboy, you do what?

No one else wants to do.

In our case.

We had a, a Septa, sewage something.

I don't know how the plumbing work for the basement was flooded all the time of the restaurant inside bass.

Like I go and deal with all the floating poop and chickens made.

Is that so it comes in that's like five gallon bucket and it's all like beat up with a broken like all the bones are at a super tender eyes and chopped up inside of it.

And it's a nasty job or the busway, some poor bus, while he's in the basement of the kitchen where sometimes poop floats and there are breading and marinating this chicken and getting it, ready for all you guys as soon as my money on and it was just as gross job of being a busboy.

And then you're also the ones who have to be there.

20 open.

I have to be there until they get the first one there and the last one to leave and you don't have any respect.

And if you don't do your job, your disposable just was going to Busboys.

And I got it because I saw my brother, he started as a busboy, but then he became expediter and then he was the host and then he was the waiter and then there's a bartender and I started subbing in for the supervisor every so often.

And so,, look, there's so much money to be spent on here, and I've got a reputation, so I, I want this and so I stuck it out.

But there's this particular time, when I was the atlas be doing the dishes, and it was a thing was like a Friday night, and I have plans that evening to go out with my girlfriend somewhere.

Yes, Jenny.

She was my girlfriend.

I always bring my girlfriend by start dating her when I was 15 minutes.

So I refer to my girlfriend, it's her butt.

This isn't that the managers have hates Brian.

You're staying till close tonight.

And I'm like, no, I'm not on my schedule tonight.

I'm not.

No, I I got plans and something happened with the clothes and Busboys and he had to go home.

And so someone's got to do the job.

Someone's got to work and so is my job to do it.

And But he didn't ask me, am I willing to do what you ask me to have the time to do it?

So it was just hey if you want to keep your job, your closing and I remember his feelings.

So

Squashed like like what you going to do is take it but as bitter and my mom always tells me that I wear the emotions on the sleeves of my shirt and everyone in the room.

Knows how I'm feeling which is a blessing and a curse, but I did the job, but people knew I wasn't happy about it.

There was another situation when I was doing the dishes and cleaning the tables, doing the grunt work, that people didn't want to do.

And apparently my emotions are also visible at day and

And if you do Tyler and the work, I didn't want to be there.

I didn't think I was getting paid enough.

Didn't think people are tipping enough.

Then when am I going to get promoted?

Don't you know who I am?

And I just kind of like me, me me.

And then the owner of the restaurant, which normally don't deal with him because he owns a place to buy, would he be hanging out with the Busboys?

But he said we got to talk and we talked and he pointed out one of the other Busboys why I got these mother opossum, and I don't think it's a term, but one of us was the name is Esteban and Esteban, didn't speak very much English.

And if the restaurant was open, he was there.

And if he wasn't there because he was at his other restaurant, working a second job.

And he was also the Busboys there, but he's always smiling, always joyful, always happy to be at work and the owner of the restaurant.

You told me, because of Azkaban language barrier, you'll never go to work in the front of the house, because this is what he he gets.

And look how joyful he is.

But how grateful we are that.

You have the job and then there was me.

Crabby and bitter and prideful too.

Good.

Be washing dishes to goodison it to the managers.

And he told me, you know what?

I think that I'm too good for this job.

But this is what he looks like.

He's sending money home to Mexico and this is his life and he's joyful and thankful.

He can be here.

And then I'm like, I don't want to do this and I'm a 16 year old kid in here.

Like how visible limit communication with the way that I work.

All I can say Terrence, if you kid wants to get a job and let them be a, busboy shapes them and teaches them how to work a good job for kids.

Although I still hate washing dishes today.

But I think we all learned some point in our lives.
