Juulie, the good news is that being where you are at right now is the next step in your progression as an official...as someone who has watched, evaluated, observed you for several years now, I must say I have been waiting for you to get to this point - where you realize that you aren't the rookie anymore and that you can and do have a large role to play in helping the less experienced (or just plain not as good) officials you are working with...I'm glad you are there!

Now the bad news...there really aren't any "stock" answers or case plays to quote that will help you thru this...you have to figure out what works for you...what works for Mick, or Tony, or Chuck, or Jurassic won't necessarily work for you...go back thru your journals and memories to find the times when someone helped you out in a situation like this, and start incorporating those types of things into your games...also, be willing to step out of your comfort zone and tell a partner to "get his a$$ in gear" when you need to - I know that won't be easy for you, but I also know you can do it...good luck, and feel free to e-mail me to discuss it further...
