Thanks to all who took the time to post their thoughts,
but who would have thought my little post would get so
many responses. I guess Mick & JR
came closest to hitting the mark. Quart low, needed a
"brownpop", and in that regard Rut got it too. FWIW I
really didn't post this here to seek advice on how to
balance my life/officiating schedule, or to be told how
it's FOR THE KIDS (uhm, no, it's really not, if it was FOR
THE KIDS I would be happy just working 3 Saturday AM 4th
grade boys games, thank you very much), or to be told I
should officiate each game at 100% from pre-game to final
horn ('cause I do that already) and I certainly didn't mean
to open up that boring "girls vs boys" level of play
argument, nor to get a lecture on how each game is a gem and
I would be happy to be out there if I could just find the
challenges each offers ('cause each game is not gem and
sometimes we just would rather be with our own families).
BTW, it's great that some of you guys are working special olympics.
So I vented, I'm feeling better now, I've got another
tonight and I'll probobly show up, if I can just get this
damn noose off my neck before I jump off this desk.
