It's all part of the business to navigate the nuances, quirks, and personalities of those who assign us games.

I am not a phone person. I am an email person. I have in my email signature "Phone for emergencies only. Email will typically get a quicker response."
And yet people call. During my current ice storm, the only emergencies I have are filling games on Saturday and Monday (which are very popular right now) -- and yet I had someone call about a track officiating date in 2020. I work a day job, too. I have other things to take care of. People just don't get it. Or think that anything involving them is an emergency.
Unless I recognize the number, it rolls to voice mail these days. I answer, usually by email, when I can.
