This last post brings up a good point.
I usually arrive in the second quarter of the JV game (no, not if I'm working the JV game). The fans KNOW you are the officials cause (1) You don't look like you belong there and (2) Who else dresses up to sit in the bleachers at a high school basketball game?
So once I'm at the school, I try to remember to behave the right way. Sure my partner and I will talk and watch the opening game. But I try to act if all eyes are on me -- cause they might be.
Be nice to the people you interact with from the moment you walk in the door. And remember to be nice to the subvarsity officials, too. Their game was probably harder to work than yours will be
This post was horribly off-topic. Sorry.
