One of the key reasons why I officiate is the mental refreshment it gives me from my real job. I sit on my butt all day in front of a PC and a pile of paperwork. But when I get in the car headed for a game at night, the work light goes off and the officiating light comes on. I can have an absolutely rotten day at the office (you know... customers, bosses, etc.), but after running up and down the floor for an hour and a half, those frustrations are ancient history.

I come into the office the next morning mentally ready to go. This is an unexpected benefit from my avocation of basketball officiating, but it's real. Anyone else notice the same thing?
