Good Luck in your next avocation.
Get real -- it's not this bad.
How do you know how "bad" it is Rich?

You don't know the rookie...you don't know the veteran.
And either do I.
Granted, the veteran probably isn't the cream of the crop...and granted, I probably am overstating things a bit...but, IMO, rookies should hustle (as OAB said he does), rookies should work with whoever the assignor assigns them (OAB stated he might request to never work with this guy again), rookies should study rules (OAB is showing he is willing to do that by being here), rookies should learn from bad examples (done), rookies should put forth their best attitude in bad situations (there will be plently just starting out), and rookies should nod their head alot (even if they completly disagree with the vet)...the rookies chance will come...be patient.
A couple three years...you very well could be Lead official over these very vets.

Now, as you grow in your experience, knowledge and credability...have at it with the state championship official...the exchanges may do you both good.

But, a rookie, nah....again, just IMO.
