I love it when I have a partner or partners who "get it." As a second-year guy, I still need to learn and I'm happy when I get someone who approaches the game professionally and points things out and handles things the right way.
Occasionally I'll get one of those guys who's "too good" to work the middle-school games I've been doing. When the first thing out of the guy's mouth when he shows up at the field is "Who has the checks?" I know it's probably going to be one of those days.
Considering all the junk you have to go through on this job already, if I keep drawing bad partners, it's going to force me into an early retirement from this thing.
